Google and its directory often list my old URL. I'd like to correct as many of those old listings as possible and insert my new address instead.

Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to do this, and I keep getting referred to the Open Directory Project or dmoz, but those two have my URL listed correctly, so there's no point in doing those.

I just want to correct Google!

What's so frustrating is that neither the Open Directory Project nor dmoz seem very well maintained, and Google is difficult if not impossible to contact on this.

Give it time. If you still have the old URL as well, make it redirect to your new one. Google will catch on eventually, especially if you have updated dmoz. Another trick is to search for your page, then click the 'dissatisfied with your results?' link at the bottom, and say that you have a new page and give the URL.

You think Google is bad at this, try MSN search I changed the URL of my personal page last year, and the old URL has long expired. MSN *still* points to that page as its number 1 result, despite it just showing a no-server error now.
