#1192-3 dealt with, thanks.

The Bathhouse, Magnolia Springs and Rubber Ducky Soap work for me. Otherwise I found all as described, but there is a replacement URL for Green Valley Spa.

But with great trouble.
Most of the sites were not listed in the category you said they were.

VGSN-TQ : I can't find any trace of this ever been listed

see my correction in #1204,
the second VGSN-TQ link was shifted downwards while editting the list, sorry for that.

I'm not going to work on #1206
You only provide a link to the Breda category and clearly these sites are not listed in that category. I don't have the time on this holiday and with this fine weather. If you provide a list with errors (and we are very happy you are doing this) please give a link to the correct category, the name and url of the site.

After all this great work you have done a question: wouldn't you be interessted in becoming an editor? We always can use good editors, certainly in World/Nederlands we could use some extra hands.

i know there's a big need for editors, huge amounts of domains waiting to be reviewed. Several thousands just in the e-commerce section according a Dutch co-editor i spoke to by phone. However i can't spend too much time on a daily basis (this is my vacation too) on the other hand.. i can reserve 8 hrs a week for reviewing. Let me know if this is interesting enough for you and the DMOZ.

Have a nice weekend

It will probably take more than 8 hours the first time reading the documentation, but the minimum editing requirement is 1 edit the first month, and 1 edit every 120 days or so thereafter.

Every good edit helps.

I was referred to this forum by one of the editors in the "site status - regional" forum after a lively discussion about sites that include affiliate links. I'm not at all convinced that the editor's statement that sites that include affiliate links are considered spam and should not be submitted are accurate, as the ODP editing guidelines seem to indicate otherwise.

I would be interested in getting an official statement from ODP on whether sites with affiliate links can be submitted and be reviewed based on content other than affiliate links, rather than a flat-out "don't submit" if there are affiliate links. I was also told that my site is fraternal mirror of another site, which it is not.

I would also like to make a comment that I believe the use of the term "marketroid" by an editor in the forum to describe someone who does marketing is used in a derogatory way, and does not reflect the professionalism one would expect from an editor of the ODP.

However, after commenting that over half the sites in the category to which I submitted had affiliate links, and less "other" content, they said it would be a "good thing" to report it here. So here goes:

Category: http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_...un/Travel_and_Tourism/Guides_and_Directories/

Affiliate Sites:

Cancun Care: http://www.cancuncare.com Affiliate of: http://www.cancuntravel.com/

Cancun Mayan Riviera: http://www.cancunmayariviera.com/ Affiliate of: http://www.travel-center.com/

Cancun Today: http://www.cancuntoday.net/ Affiliate of: http://www.travel-center.com/

Cancun Travel Online: http://cancuntravelonline.com/ Affiliate of: http://www.travel-center.com/

Cancun Vacation Deals: http://www.cancunvacationdeals.com/ Affiliate of: http://www.cancuntravel.com/

Cancun Info.net: http://www.cancuninfo.net/ Affiliate of: http://www.cancuntravel.com/

Cancun Smart: http://www.cancunsmart.com/ Affiliate of: http://www.e-travelsolution.com Note: This is the same affiliate relationship that my site has, that it appears that based on that fact alone, regardless of other content, I was told not to submit by "gimmster".

Discovery Cancun: http://www.discoverycancun.com/ Affiliate of: http://www.e-travelsolution.com Note: This is the same affiliate relationship that my site has.

Explore Cancun: http://www.explorecancun.com/ Affiliate of: http://www.e-travelsolution.com Note: This is the same affiliate relationship that my site has.

This site does not have complete hotel listings with affiliate links, but has one page with links to affiliate programs, and according to at least one editor would make listing it against ODP policy:

Cancun Assist: http://www.cancunassist.com/


This site has dead links to all hotel listings:

Visit Cancun: http://www.visitcancun.com/


This site, I believe, is borderline pornography and may be against ODP listing policies (the offensive photos and ads for porn sites are not on the index page, but on deeper pages:

Cancun Cool Guide: http://www.cancun-coolguide.com/


I am not sure if this site is against ODP listing policies, but it is full of annoying pop-up ads, images that are missing, and bad links:

My Cancun Information: http://mycancuninfo.0catch.com/


Also according to "Gimmster", I could not submit my site if it was not my only online presence, but really just the "cancun travel" section of a broader web site (it IS my only online presence). However, the following sites in that category are not their only online presence and are the "cancun" section of a broader site:

Destination Guide Cancun: http://www.journeymart.com/DExplorer/NorthAmerica/Mexico/Cancun/default.asp

Cancun Event Guide: http://cancun.eventguide.com/

Thank you for your time.
