Precisions on Unique Content

I am a little confused with the "unique content" concept eheh... Our company proposes an entire range of garden decoration products. As a result, we are logically listed under Garden Shops. But most of the people look directly for what they want, and they will finally find a category "Windchime", another "Weathervane", another "Birdfeeders, Birdhouses and Birdbaths", etc.

Can you tell me if the content of our site is unique-enough to aplly for those categories that are more targeted. If yes, should I use the classical submit form, or email the editor explaining why we should be in there (how to find his email also I am not sure)...

I just don't wanna waste editor's time, so I prefer to ask first, eheh /images/icons/laugh.gif

p.s.: hello to the editors that are registered in Doug's forums /images/icons/laugh.gif

Not if it is a shopping site. The rules for the shopping category are one listing per store.

In a case like this, the question is not "unique content" (you apparently have it) but "deeplinks." The guidelines say that deeplinks are the exception rather than the rule. In Shopping categories there are "almost no" exceptions -- we have to do this, or else unscrupulous SERP perps would tell every shopping site to submit every page. Walmart.com would have 50,000 entries, amazon.com would have a page of books on every subject, barnesandnoble.com would want the same.

And even in Shopping, there would be a "no deeplinks in subcategories where the parent category is" principle to which there is, IMO, no appropriate exception.

We list (and submitters should try to find, as the submitting guidelines say) the ONE most appropriate category for the whole site.
