site submission for Insane Discounts

We have submitted our site a couple of times for http://www.insanediscounts.com in the category http://dmoz.org/Shopping/General_Merchandise/I/ but have not been listed yet. Any way to find out if we are doing something wrong.

insanediscounts.com is an affiliate reseller and will not be listed as according to these guidelines:

I cant read the link you sent it asks for a password but how do you figure it is an affiliate site? We sell wholesale products and ship the items our self. It is no different than other sites you have listed such as http://www.optimumdiscounts.com

Our policy on listing affiliate resellers is available at http://dmoz.org/guidelines/include.html#affiliate

Your site is an SMC distributorship. It would have to have truly outstanding unique content to rate a listing.

I have no clue who or what itctv is.The remaining products I have come from manufacturers in China and some in the US.

The reason it was related to an itctv.com affiliate is numerous products are repeated from those that are offered by that business on thousands of websites. It is possible they get their products from the same place that you do and you are not actually part of their dropshipping service. Regardless, it is not unique content and your site will not be listed. Several of the products on your site I have literally seen on hundreds of different web sites. Here is a working link for that given above: http://dmoz.org/guidelines/include.html#affiliate

Whether you are a direct affiliate of itctv.com or just a reseller of the same products, the site does not offer original content that allows it to be listed. Sorry.

O.k. Thats fine. I can live with that.Although I do not think it explains why the other site I mentioned that is clearly an affiliate site is allowed to be listed.Maybe it is an accident overlooked by an editor or maybe it belongs to an editor.I have nothing against them and think they have a nice site but clearly something is up here.
Well enough said. Thanks for the feedback. I will make my next site more ODP friendly.

With a quick look at the site, not looking at editor notes, and the acknowledgement I don't edit shopping - my guess would be because it is not the affiliate site, but the company providing the dropshipping and affiliate program.

Guess again. Anyway, this is my last post. You guys obviously have double standards and/or no research capability.Im not trying to tick you off but rather give constructive critisism.I could list their source here but I am not going to as it would not benefit us or them.However, I think it is clear that what you said about my products being on thousands of sites is also true of theirs.Come on man they sell a link to another site that sells cigarettes (is that unique).Take a look at their lighter section.Your telling me that is unique and not drop shipped from another company.The site can stay listed for all I care as it does not harm me in any way and that is not the point anyway.The point is that you do not follow your own guidelines for whatever reason and that hurts you as well as others.
Sorry if this offends anyone but this is how I see it.

No one is being unfair, and the site you referred to was already re-reviewed yesterday...before your last post was listed here. There are no double standards. Some affiliate type dropshipping products are easier to identify than others. I'm not going to give examples here or tell you how the identification is made. I will say that sometimes identification is difficult, sometimes easy. When the original site was reviewed dropshipping content was not identified or recognized. No double standards applied, we just do the best that we can to identify unique content and sometimes affiliate type content sneaks through. It is usually identified later if it does, and then is corrected.
