>>You absolutely can't turn an affiliate shopping site into ANYTHING and make it listable in shopping. You generally can't turn an affiliate shopping site into an informational site (and make it listable).<<
Hutcheson, I agree completely with almost everything you have said. It wasn't my intent to suggest that adding information would make the site listable in Shopping/ , and I hope it wasn't construed that way. However, I do think that it is possible to turn quite a few types of affiliate sites (though admittedly, not all) into listable informational sites; a little imagination and hard work can go a long way. The problem is that it would require much more work than most affiliate site owners are willing to undertake for an ODP listing.
