Any update on the progress of this request for inclusion? Can you give me an estimate on how long will it before the site is listed?

We ask sumitters to wait six months between status updates. Feel free to return on or after 29 November for a status check and we will be happy to help you.

Unfortunately, as far as this site goes, there is no need to return. It cannot be listed. Please see ODP Guidelines for more information.

Please clarify the violation so I may correct it.

Can I then resubmit it for inclusion?

The main purpose of my site is to provide people access to great gift ideas.

Thanks

The violation is (as it nearly always is) "failure to provide unique content." I can't imagine how you could correct that -- surely, if you could have, you would have already.

So how did other sites that sell items similar to mine get into the directory, for example, http://www.decor24.com/, http://www.water-fountain.biz/? So you only allow one site to sell items similar to others. No 2 sites in the directory can have items that are the same?

I will look into those to sites and review to see if they should indeed be listed, so thank you for the links.

To be listed in the ODP a site must offer unique content. MLM individual representative sites are not listed at all.
