If my website is affiliate site but I have unique content in each page, I use only when I send form or send value to parents sites. For example, hotel reservations website. I see many site which are high ranking in both Google & Yahoo is that affiliate hotels website. How can I do for listing in DMOZ for that kind of website. I think, the editor should review the site and see that site is useful for searcher or not, if it useful then should add it database. :ooo:

That's what the editor is supposed to do, yes :) However, affiliate content is defined as NOT useful. This means that the editor should look at the NON-AFFILIATE content and see if it is useful. (Often, a site with a lot of affiliate links on it will have to have MORE useful content than a site without these links, because to the ODP's way of thinking, affiliate links remove from the usefulness of a site.)

Hotel reservations sites are very seldom useful, as we define usefulness. If they are high-ranking in other directories or in the search engines, good for them! We don't care what Google or Yahoo rank high, though. They do their thing, we do ours :)

I would like to add one thing to nea's excellent post.

Not only will the editor look at non-affiliate content to evaluate the site, but they will check to see if that content is UNIQUE. This means that it isn't available anywhere else on the internet.
