DMOZ and Google
This has been a big mystery for me, solved today (thanks to Dave at work). Where does Google get the descriptions for your web site? When someone searches for your site, what does it say under your company name?
Have you ever noticed that some sites come up with nicely worded descriptions and other web sites have incomplete sentences and other problems? Where does google get that description?
Evidently the text comes from is what’s written in the DMOZ description has given to the site or what you submit to them. Sounds easy. I guess it’s not though. Here’s an article about it: http://www.attention-to-details.com/newslog/38g-getting-listed-in-dmoz-odp.asp
Being listed in DMOZ is the only way to be included in the Google directory.
Who runs DMOZ and what is there relationship to Google exactly? I’m curious…
