DMOZ的編輯會勒索已列在目錄裡的網站？

[哈啦]

在這篇部落格中看到知名網路賺錢網站shoemoney的站長說他的網站被一個自稱DMOZ的編輯勒索5000美金，否則就要把他的網站從DMOZ的目錄中移開。而他不為所動。後來又接到一封電郵說他的網站已被移除了，他上去一看還真的列！

後來有人回應他的文章也表示曾經接到同樣的勒索，但他的價錢低多了只要五十美元，所以他就照付了！

這是真的嗎？這裡有哪位站長也有類似經歷？

如果是真的就太扯了，而DMOZ也該好好檢討了。

Dmoz Extortion


A while back I got a email from a guy claiming to be a DMOZ editor saying that I had to pay him $5,000.00 or he would have my site: shoemoney.com removed from the dmoz.

I thought nothing of it…. then today I got a email from him saying it was removed and I might want to rethink not paying him. I thought I would check just for grins.

It was removed… WOW

dmoz… corrupt… no…..

I never thought I would say this but I don’t even care anymore. I am stunned Google still uses this as there business directory as its the most corrupt “editorial” system EVER and especially since now they are trying to talk about paid links and crap…

Seriously I would love to see how they defend this one… How does shoemoney.com NOT belong in DMOZ??

Google seriously its time for you to aquire a business directory that has paid inclusion. There is so much porn and spam in the dmoz its a huge black eye for you. Business.com just got scooped up but there is another one that might be able to get got for a nice price *cough* best of the web *cough*

DUMP DMOZ
