Hi,

Can you tell me if google punish web site for dmoz directory installed on subdomain?

It wont "punish" you so to speak, but don't expect to rank well for anything significant.

Are you talking about creating a directory in a subdomain, or just taking all the content from an existing one?

Why would it? The only thing that would happen, as st0x said, is you probably won't rank for anything important and because it's cloned everywhere, someone else (likely DMOZ itself or the Google variant thereof) will rank ahead of you, all other things being equal.

What is cloning DMOZ meant to accomplish?

Why clone DMOZ what is the point ? You need to focus on a subject and build on it.

I agree, there isn't a point to a dmoz clone...it won't even get many pages indexed.

I know one site has 3000 pages indexed on G and 22000 on Y.

Good for that site I guess, but given that same content has been cloned so many times over I doubt the pages would show up in SERPs. Mostly like all the pages are in the supplemental index and keep some of the other pages on the site ranking as well as they could.

If Google was going to show a page in their results that's an exact match for a DMOZ page, which page do they think they'll show? My money is on the original page at DMOZ.

I don't think Google will even index your clone. So it will do very little. you could always link to the DMOZ. this will save you a lot of time.
