Deleted. Unlistable.

[Detail: Long history of submitting multiple deeplinks to multiple categories. Content not unique, and is mainly tagged affiliate links. At least 12 editors have been involved in clearing out these inappropriate submissions].

Please read the Guidelines, twice, then ask back here which bits you didn't understand.
 

Re: http://www.techbargains.com/

Apologize for any problems previous submissions have cause. No intentional wrong doing!

Content not unique - Can you state which sites we mirror? It's funny because lots of sites copy deals from our site.. Many of which are in dmoz. We find the best deals out on the web and help users save money.

Mostly Affiliate links -

Per your guidelines: "However, a site that contains affiliate links in addition to other content (such as a fan site for a singer that has interviews and photos plus banner ads and links to buy the singer's CDs) might be an acceptable submission to the directory.
If the remaining information is original and valuable informational content that contributes something unique to the category's subject, the site may be a good candidate for the ODP. "

Affiliate link in context of finding bargains? Yes. Required of all vendors/deals - No.

Is our information useful? We hope so. We've been around for almost 3 years saving people money. If you just click on Dell.com, you wouldn't have coupons to uses, you wouldn't know which of their 5 sub stores to get the best deal from.

Here is an example of a site just full of affiliate links with nothing exactly useful:
http://www.computers-coupon-gateway.com/

Now our site is more than just 'bargain news' We have original articles that help users select computers, optimize their system.. ie
