Your site was removed for having insufficient unique content.

Thank you for that, Quantify "unique content" Since being removed, we now have contract hire and leasing, car insurance groups, we have added extra content, how can i then now get my site relisted? The site is now more functionable and has more content than before.
I would suggest re-submitting with a note saying you have added more content. The reviewing editor will have still have discretion over adding your site.
Remember, you must look at it from an unbiased view; one of which a surfer would use. Does your site add enough unique content to the category you are suggesting to?
This you do not need to answer here, but as you are searching for an ODP category to suggest to.

We can't normally. Thats exactly why we don't remove listings for this except for some special cases where we can.
In this case, the statement was insufficient unique content which has nothing to do with resubmitting over and over.

Several things:
1) That is exactly why we ask to keep all everything in one thread, so all information is right at hand when needed.
2) There is no need to send copies of your messages via PM - we are actually reading this forum
3) In this case, as mentioned in the other thread, multiple submissions for different URLs were received. Setting up different domains for the same content is something that we maybe could take as a proof. Abnyway you were not told that you would not receive a listing in that thread.
(And btw: "Quote" is meant for quoting someone. Looks a bit strange...)

ok, i submitted my site about 3 days ago which was www.onestopcaradvice.co.uk , and jimnoble rejected it for spamming, that was his offical word, or at least this was how i read it. What do i do now???? resubmit? Sorry about the quotes thing, this is new to me. But i think i have the hang of this now.

also there is now more content than ever before, and indeed when my site was removed. So therfore i believe that i should indeed now be included. or maybe we could let the viewers decide????

Let me summarise.
http://www.onestopcaradvice.co.uk has been declined on many occasions - mainly because it doesn't provide unique or adequate content.
http://www.onestopcaradvice.co.uk has been declined on many occasions - mainly because it doesn't provide unique or adequate content.
- It lists only 10 used car dealers for the whole of the UK. ODP already lists many times that number
- It lists 7 Land Rover dealers
- If we ignore individual branches, it lists only 4 Ford dealers for the whole of the UK and you can't buy one in London.
- It lists only 4 car importers. ODP already has far more than that.
- As far as I can tell, most of its links are affiliate links and we ignore those when evaluating the worth of a website.[/list:u]It's not a good resource for the surfer and it can't be listed in its current state. That it has been submitted many times is not the reason for it not being listed. It does indicate that you have spammed our directory though and caused a considerable waste of our scarce resources in the process.
http://www.1stopcaradvice.co.uk is a doorway to the above and is in common ownership. It too has been submitted a number of times.
http://www.1stop4cardealers.co.uk is also a doorway of the above and is also in the same ownership. It too has been submitted.
I'm aware of only one reason why webmasters create doorway pages and then attempt to get them individually listed in various directories and search engines. We advise against such behaviour in our submission guidelines (which you agreed you'd read at least 56 times by my reckoning) and consider such submissions to be abusive.
"I give up..." Me too.

Please allow me to answer now that we are getting somewhere.
The used car category actually holds over 250 used car dealers as can be shown at.Look Here .Full list from which more are being added all the time.:
If you look at Ford Dealers This will show The uk Franchised Dealers...which there are more than 4??????
Car Import Page....As you may not be aware that car imports are not such a big thing no more, and this category will at some stage change to uk new sourced cars hence not many dealers as this area is grey at the moment.
Affiliate links...Who...Yes...car source for customers to do a individual used car search, tescos and esure..reg transfers, new reg, all who opprate this system, however im not going to put them on for nothing am i. yes affiliate links. Who else????? also have a look at This site there whole site is an affiliate one. Yet they are listed with you..arnt they.
Yes, my site needs some more car dealers which i am currently working on, however the feed back i recieve is of good news for the site,and say it is very good and easy to use.
As for the other 2 sites they are braches of the original site, however will look and work different in time. However i am not intereste din those being listed in dmoz, so how they got submitted i dont know.

How come i have no reply from you jimnoble? i noticed that you re looked at my site...what were your thoughts after a closer look?

steve1stop
can you not see that these posts above all contradict each other...
There's no contradiction, onestop. The part about your site being deleted for having been submitted dozens of times came from your imagination. It's been clearly stated several times now that your site has insufficient unique content for our directory. Submitting the site over and over, like continuing to badger jimnoble about this, is a different issue; it's annoying and doesn't help your case. I suggest you stop both and find some good, constructive ways to promote your site instead.
