It won't work, dude. DMOZ editors are already aware of it and it can only be used on downstream data (not actual DMOZ root data).

Apparently its run by a disgruntled ex editor .... its his 3rd or 4th attempt to do a directory to get back at DMOZ (he failed on all others) ... he needs to move on.

Not only that, you can pay to get a competitor knocked off.

By the way, in case anyone was wondering how I knew DMOZ editors knew about it and doesn't know who cbp is...cbp is a (former?) DMOZ editor, and there is at least one other DMOZ editor that I can confirm does know about it.

I am an ex-editor, but do know of a senior editor who was going to raise it in the internal DMOZ forum (not sure why as the site is in compliance with the licence to use the DMOZ database)

Its just a money making scam ... there will be some who will confuse it with DMOZ and pay the monies. .... and then start posting in forums blaming DMOZ for everything! .... don't figure!

I tend to agree. This will only cater to the clueless SEO crowd.
