Is Google preparing to drop ODP/DMOZ directory listings? Some at ODP believe so... it has also been pointed out in a couple of threads here at WebProWorld that Google has not updated its ODP data in several months, which might be seen as lending credence to the rumor.
ODP editors are wondering about the impact of such a move on the directory. For many webmasters, the hope of improving Google ranking is the only reason for going through the headache of submitting to ODP.
Some minimal details are available here at the
ODP WebLog site.
What do you think about this? If true, would this be a positive move for Google, webmasters, and the internet community?
