RIP DMOZ

[littlewebdragon]

the IMDB boards have also shut down. seems a lot of things are going away...

IMO huge companies are now taking over the internet and they think that like in the regular world they can just do what the fuck they want. No one is asking users what they want, just good old plain high figure games. Well they've got something wrong. Internet business as much as it can go skyrocket high it can go 3x faster down the drain as compared to real world online people way much easier turn their back to something they don't like and no one can make them do otherwise.

According to Google's SERPS the only websites we need are: Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, CNet, eBay, Fox News, and CostCo...

I never liked the site or the editorial process, so to the bin it goes. Besides, who uses Directories these days anyway!

[moonlighsunligh]

Google has moved on.

Quality determination is now done on a REALTIME multinode basis

Dmoz is dead but let all be honest in the day dmoz was hot lol

I used it many times to get indexed fast .

Dmoz R.I.P

Watch that domain ,worth a buck or two , guessing traffic must be huge to the domain it self ....

 

[Crewchief007]

Does that mean I will not get a refund on the $22,350.00 I paid to guarantee I would be become an Editor? With full power?

***Starting a Sh*tlist NOW!!!!!

 

[Sristy]

Will the domain expire ?
That would be hell of a PBN domain

If it was me and I knew SEO's were dying for links from the site then I would milk the shit out of it. RIP to a piece of internet history though.

they were dying 10 years ago for a link from that..

kind of sad now. I lose some cheap, free, links now...

AOL did a great job. Closed it right on time as scheduled.

I wonder why would they do such a thing to their business? They've been here for so many years, since the beginning of time and a lot has considered them to the the authority. But one sad thing though, is that they did not revolutionize their business model for the decade that they've been in business, and that probably may cause them the business.

no. they just "drepfeed" dropping links

 

[jon_xx_x]

Should have sent out a mass email saying your link will be removed. But you can keep it up for $100. At the very least they make $1M and that's a low estimate. Then shut it down lol
