Google Dupes Dmoz
search google for dmoz and you will find it gone, well you should be able to see it here http://core-n02.dmoz.aol.com:30080/ looks like a dupe content issue or dns issue

Hehe, I was just having a conversation about how worthless and corrupt dmoz is.. Bin the whole thing Google!

http://stefanjuhl.com/Another wild guess, is that since they recently 301′ed netscape.com to netscape.aol.com the ODP copy on aol.com has more “authority” than dmoz.org. Pretty much like hijacking rankings by replicating other sites on a more trusted domain.

search.dmoz.org/ is 3rd in Google and redirects to http://www.dmoz.org

It’s a simple domain canonicalisation issue.
While fixing up the site-wide 301 redirects for (www\.)?(dmoz¦newhoo)\.(com¦org) to all point to http://www.dmoz.org/ – as well as upgrading and expanding various bits of hardware – it appears that one set of URLs was overlooked.
Google is indexing URLs from one of the load-balancing servers, and has been doing so for at least 6 weeks. It shouldn’t take very long to fix up the problem, and get Google back on track and indexing the canonical domain.

Only just found the DMOZ news here: http://www.wmseo.org/post/13.htm
Thought I’d best have a look on Dave’s blog and see if this was accurate information, before I bought myself the white armband and went around singing ‘hey ho DMOZ is dead’. False Alarm, ho hum!

*** I doubt its because of the dupe found on AOL servers, ***
There were several factors. This is one of them:

and that has already been fixed.
