DMOZ Alternative - The Constitution

[Comenius]

Great quote, Cricket.

To janhvizdak, you might want to check out the works of some authors like Clayton Christensen on disruptive innovation...

John your problem is (and has been for many years) that you are looking at this from a seo perspective rather than that of someone who wants to create useful directory of websites.

Someone with your resources could be instrumental in creating such a directory, but all you have managed to do is to create a handful of site promotion directories. There are literally tens of thousands of such promotion directories around and a directory with the constitution that you envisage would be little different.

For a directory to be a truly valuable resource the emphasis need to be on the product not the needs of webmasters.

I am creating one www.bigoole.com

But the problem is quality in it

If I have editors I am going to have lot of problems so I am probably looking at some sort of qualifications to be in my directory

I have prepared one algorithim Pagedata

to sort my listings in my directory!

How you figure that?

You can create DMOZ alternative if you have a good crawler...

I do have one!

In this case you can now create directory, pick unique design, begin free submissions.
When you reach 1 000 000 creawl sites and update them. Hire some people to work with...

Part of the perceived problem with DMOZ is transparency. I think a directory that maintained a public history of the review process - who reviewed, comments, change log for listing, etc. - would be breaking the mold. I envision something like the Wikipedia's editor comments. It doesn't solve problems where there is genuine disagreement over an issue, but it should help curb blatant abuses.

My bot will crawl the domains about 300,000 per day!(There are about 75 million domain names)

and then it will see whether the site could be accepted or not on the basis of certain gudelines

But the real problem is indexing as the script has capability to index more than 1 million domain names but it currently indexing at the rate of 300,000 domain names per day!

I hope you have got a patent on your bot. It has an uncanny ability to find the most awful sites on the net. The sites its finds are just terrible. This believe it or not is a marketable property worth millions. It could form the basis of a entirely new way to search. Search engines like Google could have a ranking scale based on an inverse ratio of the sites in your index. Combining your index (lets call it crap rank) and their page rank could provide unheard of relevancy in searches. I would contact a patent attorney with a view to registering crap rank as son as possible. You really don't want to loose this opportunity.

I am not using pagerank to sort out the listings

I have my own algorithm called Bigoole Page Data to sort out the listings

and I have reliable bots who can help me in finding quality sites

For example:www.innermobiles.com -A bot edited directory

I will have about 10 bots like this to review the links in my directory!

You can't understand what I am saying and also I do n't want to reveal the details!

After reading this thread I think I can safely say that the "constitution" is going to be thee shortest constitution in use today.

Sorry John S, but I just don't have the brainwidth right now to help draft a constitution. Heck, I hardly have time to take a constitutional!
