Extreme DMOZ Extractor

The Open Directory Project is the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory on the web. It is constructed and maintained by a vast global community of volunteer editors. The Open Directory was founded in the spirit of the Open Source movement, and is the only major directory that is 100% free. There is not, nor will there ever be, a cost to submit a site to the directory, and/or to use the directory.

You can freely download and use the DMOZ database at http://rdf.dmoz.org. The database is in RDF/XML data which is very large, currently over 1,8 GB in size (260MB in a zipped file distributed by dmoz.org). This file contains over 500,000 categories and 3,800,000 web links. Therefore, many major websites such as Google, Altavista, AOL Search, Netscape, and WhatUSeek also use the DMOZ database.

Working with such a large file is not an easy task. Notepad, Wordpad, MS Word, MS Excel, and many XML editors will crash when loading the file. You need a truly powerful application to work with it. Now there is the EXTREME DMOZ Extractor to easily handle this monumental task. EXTREME DMOZ Extractor will extract the data inside the DMOZ RDF file. You do not need any XML knowledge. EXTREME DMOZ Extractor will display the data in rows and columns like a spreadsheet. You can easily browse, organize, and navigate them.

EXTREME DMOZ Extractor is designed with the web developer mind. We know that you need to be able to manipulate the database. You may need to filter the data, split that large file into a smaller file so that you can open it in Wordpad or MS Excel, or convert it to your own data format to be used by other software such as IndexU. You can do all of this easily with EXTREME DMOZ Extractor.

Free Content For Your Web Directory

Yahoo is the web's most visited website. Most web surfers will go to a search directory or search engine to find the information they need. Large web directories like Yahoo cannot focus on a specific area. They are too broad and sometimes they are not able to find relevant and up to date information. Now there is the opportunity for a web entrepreneur to build a web directory that focuses on specific area, capturing a niche market. You can expect to draw a large number of visitors and sell them your product, your service, or advertising space.

Building such a web directory from scratch could be time consuming or even impossible to find so many web links. If you could get 100 new submissions in a day, then it would take 200 days to get 20,000 web links. That is more than SIX MONTHS! Now, with the DMOZ Extractor you don't have to wait that long?

EXTREME DMOZ Extractor is the solution for you to start making a profit tomorrow, instead of having to have to wait for half a year and manually entering all of the data. DMOZ.ORG contains a large number of web links that are well structured and all are reviewed by a human, and not by a machine. These are top quality web links. Start extracting from the DMOZ database and get 500,000 well structured categories, and 3,800,000 quality web links in less than an hour.
