Next Google Directory update?

Does anyone have an estimate of when Google's odp directory will be updated?

Sometime about the year 2010

Whenever they stop worrying about Adsense publishers using images next to their ads.

Google Directory? What is that? Unless you mean by DOZG.org or whatever its name is.

Yes their version of the ODP directory. My guess is they didn't update in the last months because of the server crash on ODP.

Some are saying Jan 2-25th.

No way to verify, but I have "heard" that google may not be using this in the future.

Why's that? Probably because they're getting too old for this thing.

I have been waiting to get listed for over a year now :(

rocket468 if a category has no editor it can take ages because your link needs to be noticed by the higher level editor, maybe you can try to become an editor for the category yourself, but it's not easy, you have to know your niche very (and I mean VERY) good, and lurn the rules of ODP and how to apply for editor.

if the category has an editor but you think your site is rejected, it may be wise to read the rules and maybe think about what is wrong with your site -> Is there enough unique content? Does everything work (broken links?)

Are you kidding me? I have waited almost for 2 years now since we're in 2007.

Google has updated the directory!!!

Finally, i'm not sure if it has anything to do with it, but I contacted Google by mail asking for the update as an ODP editor and soon after they did the update

cool finally see my site in there

to hell with dmoz

You hate it when you're not in there but you love it when you are
