Traffic Flow SEO

It seems like it never was going to be updated, but after 19 months Google has finally pulled a new data dump from the Open Directory (DMOZ) into it's Google Directory - which is essentially just the DMOZ branded with Google's logo. Why is this important? Well it seemed that not to long ago the DMOZ was all but left for dead. New submissions were halted, the directory appeared to not be accessible (or certain categories not accessible) for periods of time and Google had not pulled data from it in awhile. It looked like it's days were numbered, but recently the directory started accepting submissions again (getting approved - that is another story), it appears more stable and Google is pulling data again. I guess that this means the DMOZ will be around for awhile longer and still powerful in influencing Google search engine results.
