Sent one more request to Google today, maybe I should include it in my weekly routine ;)

As for adding your own content, sure that could be done, just send me an e-mail (see ‘About’)

many spamming sites have abused of terms as “odp”, “opendirectoryproject”, and names of most popular sites using “phpODP” for to increase abusively their traffic rank. :(

The age of democracy is a very utopy. :( :(

it might be correct that you have been banned because of using your own script without having a portal around (no “integrated service”).

But I don`t think so!

Have you heared about Google Bombing meanwhile?

Unfortunataly there is a new Google Service that checks if your number of backlinks has grown natural or not. This means, if too many new odps are spidered too often you will be banned because Google is of the opinion that you bought lots of backlinks overnight.

On the other hand it is a new sport in the US to buy lots of backlings for competitors to get them banned!

Perhaps Google will think about it and bring us new updates. But who knows?

My tip:

Make all your sites spider friendly (including correct meta tags) and let Google spider your site again when you are ready.

Can`t understand why you exclude Google although you are banned already? How should they check if your content gets better if you exclude their spiders?

(German SEO – not leaving URL on banned sites ;-) )
