Summary
During the last two months, the editor community did a big end-of-the-year house cleaning: In December, ODP's link checker Robozilla was set loose to hunt for broken links all over the directory: he removed 57,000 listings, that´s 1.21 % of the directory content. By end of January 2006, the number of total listings is almost as high again as before Robozilla's visit - and the quality has improved.
The data below was compiled on 1 February 2006, 6:00 GMT.
The Directory
Overall numbers
* Listings in the public directory: 4,723,850
* Net growth in listings: 32,298 (net growth in listings = total number of added listings - total number of removed listings)
* Net growth in percent: 0.69 %
* Categories: 697,808
The graph below shows the change of the total site number for December 2005 and January 2006. Normally we´d show only the January data in a monthly report, but this is a rare chance to show the effects of various quality control tools and holidays all in one graph.
