DMOZ the enemy?

WhskyGrl · Nov 13th, 2007, 12:56

Hey, Im checking out some of these posts about dmoz and its not too reassuring.

Ive got a site that's sitting on dmoz with an description thats about 4 years old. I wanna know what will happen if I just delete the description....I do not want to put in new data info...will the description in a search engine just revert to current info on the page? I'm wondering what will happen here. Because the website is currently undergoing a lot of changes its not logical to keep refreshing descriptions. Especially if its taking dmoz forever to update stuff.

Anyone got any ideas on this?

There is a feature at dmoz.org where you can update your listing. I think you have to go to the section that your site is listed and then click the option, "update listing". Why don't you do that?

I didn't know that it can help much. Thanks for info.

I know it may take up to 2 years to update anything in DMOZ

Is there any way to try to get a description updated faster than that?

I didn't know that it may take so much time.

As it is all done by hand, I guess the answer is no, you just have to sit and wiat, and try not to annoy the admin too much, or they may remove your listing.

Why do you need this dmoz update?

Because I have an old description coming up for on a google search. The information is 5 years old and can lose my organization funding.
