Adsense and DMOZ - policy?

Hi, I have this website:http://www.webpelican.com/ . I suggested it to Computers: Programming: Internet: Personal Pages about 2 month ago.

On the website I have 3 units of ads on each page except the index page where I have got 2.
Apart from the ads the site is full of almost 4 years of Internet programming assignments with solutions, as well as tutorials, blog section, etc...

My question is if this amount of ads could be a problem for some editors in DMOZ. The reason I am asking is that I got rejected because of the ads when I suggested the site to skaffe.com . I did - however - get listed at once in other directories like zeal(closed now) and joeant.
The Skaffe Team told me they would like to have my site in their directory if I remove some of the ads.
As already stated; could this be a problem at DMOZ too? The reason I have the ads is to pay for the hosting. Hosted it at a home server at first(without ads), but since my ISP have some connection problems I had to buy me some hosting. And I am poor, like most students...

Guess wether an editor would list this site or not depends on that very editor, but I was hoping to get a more general answer. Didn't find any of this in your guidelines.

The general answer is that we look at the content, not the ads. If we can't readily find any unique content, it won't be listed.

I haven't looked at your site.

maybe you just looked a little...

Ok, thanks. I know you don't look at individual websites. That is why I explained the number of ads and the content that can be found on this website.
But have you heard of any websites getting rejected because the editor feels it containes too many ads? The content is unique, and the number of ads is not the maximum amount that you can have according to google.
However, since Skaffe.com won't list it until I remove some of the ads I got worried my site already have got rejected for the same reason.

No, I heard only about websites being rejected due to lack of "unique" content.

Yes, if you mean "to many ads in relation to the unique content". But for us this means "not enough unique content". If we can't find the content between the ads it most probably won;t be listed.

This will have no influence on the decission to list your site.

just a questions on this, then why would some directories be listed
if they dont have any specific contents just basically links they sell because they are listed with DMOZ ? just wondering.

In the past, more directories and smaller directories were listed than would be listed today. Some of these would be removed if re-reviewed now, because in this millenium they really don't add anything to the sum of human knowledge. Others (like the ODP, or the Oxford Hymn Tune Index or Nave's Topical Bible Index or the Thematic Index of classical music, or any number of scholarly bibliographies, or the Library of Congress card catalog) still provide unique compendia of information.

If you see websites, including directories, that shouldn't be listed by your understanding of the ODP guidelines, please suggest them in our "quality feedback" forum. Typically we'll either remove them or give a quick indication of why we didn't.

But, more generally -- this is a universal issue, isn't it? Plagiarist-spammers will try to mimic any kind of website that doesn't seem to require knowing anything or doing anything -- and a shopping index looks easy to create.
