Could we please keep this thread open so we can fully discuss this issue? Thanks.
I have looked quite well into the links. I see many sites that have scraped the SERPs which contain this site as it is high in the rankings for many relevant terms. This makes it a good target for the scrapper and spammer sites.
I can assure you that there is no active affiliate program for this school. We do have a couple of official channel partners who feature a link to the site from theirs. This site is not an affiliate site nor do we have an active affiliate program.
It would be unfortunate and an injustice to see this unique site with unique content discriminated against because of scrapper and spammer sites that CaliforniaLicense.com doesn’t have control over. We have done our best to read, acknowledge and adhere to the policies that the ODP has set forth and maintained a professional decorum despite what seems like hostile behavior towards us.
We are not spammers nor an affiliate, we simply seek the equal treatment our competitors have received in the ODP:
