Was it suggested at least one month ago? Please bump this thread when that time has expired. Thanks.

Could the reason for the decline be that the editor that edited said category on Dec 19th is a direct competitor?

No.

The December 19th date visible on the page is the last time an edit was made to the public page, i.e. a site or symlink was added, modified, or deleted on that date. It has nothing to do with when any site waiting in unreviewed might have been deleted.

Is there a certain reason?
There certainly is, there is always a reason. It is only one of several products from the same stable, that you choose not to link to it on you own main URL shows how little you think of it, so why would we want to?

You are on very dangerous ground. Given the occupation of the editor who edited said category on Dec 19th someone less likely to be a direct competitor I find difficult to imagine. And that editor did not decline the suggestion in any case, I did.

Editors are not as green as the background on this site might suggest.

"There certainly is, there is always a reason. It is only one of several products from the same stable, that you choose not to link to it on you own main URL shows how little you think of it, so why would we want to?"

What exactly are talking about? The guide? It is a paid guide. If I showed it to everyone first, then no one would pay for it. I receive the order for the guide, then email the password to the buyer, to view it. It is in its own protected area, if I linked to the actual guide area, you would get nothing but a popup asking for a password to that area.

If you need to see the guide, thats fine, Ill give you a link. The information it contains, as far as website profit production and marketing goes, is far better than anything listed in this section so far. All sites in this category are regurgitated from each other. Mine is absolutely one-of-a-kind, and extremely profitable for website owners.

Isn't dmoz about listing the highest quality products/sites available?

You are missing the point. The whole site is devoted to just one of your product lines. In the same way we do not link to every book, DVD, and video sold by Amazon, so we cannot link to your own individual "how-to" products.

Oh, ok. Thats all you have to say. But, its the same principal as a few other sites in this category, only much better, and much more "real".

That's fine, I'm sure people will find it useful. But it is not the sort of site we are permitted to accept and any editor doing so would, if they did so knowingly, themselves be in breach of our guidelines.

For example, this website is offering one service, just as mine. http://www.apromotionguide.com/ Hes offering website promotion, just as mine. Mine includes all the very basic information on this website, plus step-by-step instructions for submitting, linking, exchanges, templates. I include links to free tools, forums, and tons of other things in the guide.

If this guy deserves to be here, I honestly cannot see why Im not.

Again you are missing the point. Two points in fact this time.

#1. We do not list a company's individual product lines, no matter how they divide them up as regards websites. Regardless of whether or not the sites themselves are interlinked. We will consider a company's primary website that covers all of their related products.

#2. The content on the site you specified is far more comprehensive than that contained on the visible part of your own site. It is a guide with freely given information, not a sales pitch for a guide.

Examples:

We will list Amazon

We will list an online version of the Bible

We will not list Amazon's page selling an enhanced e-book version of the Bible. Even though that enhanced version is not available anywhere else and is better than any other version ever produced.

If Amazon split their e-book bible off from the rest of the site and put it on an independent website we still would not list it - that is an Amazon marketing decision and we don't list sites separately because of such decisions - we are not a marketing tool.

Im not sure if I understand.

I don't have multiple product lines. Its just this. Nothing is broken into multiple websites. The guide is hosted on the website, in another place. Basically, the denial was simply because the makeup of the website and how I chose to sell this item?

Also, that guide is far from comprehensive, which is why it is free. I don't use sales pitches, only facts and examples.

This has gone on long enough. The rules of this forum prohibit argument about the reasons for a suggestion being declined. I've responded so far because I think it is useful for others to understand the basic principles that we do not list individual company product lines. You have been told that this is the reason for the site being declined and there is no point in continuing when you deny something most people in this forum can prove definitively in 2 minutes or less.

The rules of the forum should also cover editors making statements they know nothing about. Take this for example, this comment you made in the Colorade Web Design category proves you are not qualified to judge what is "Comprehensive" and what isn't, when dealing with Website Promotion and Internet Marketing.


"Consider also how much is a DMOZ listing really worth? One more web design listing amongst 50,000. Will it make any difference whatsoever to your business? No." - oneeye

This Guide is not an "individual product line", its a website like any other, selling a product. Everyone be sure to notice that.
