Your site was rejected because it's an affiliate of "QuickPayday". The ODP doesn't list affiliates.

Thanks jlangowski, but this is strange. We are not affiliated with any other payday loan companies, but Yahoo! also put us in the quik payday/affiliates category and I have tried contacting them regarding this. If you check the who-is records for quickpayday and ourselves, you will see that we are not in any way affiliated. Please help with this as we are suffering a loss of business do to someone else's mistake at Yahoo! Thanks in Advance!

"Affiliated" does not mean "same whois information". It means to us, that the content a site offers it not unique and can be found somewhere else. Regarding to our guidelines, a site without a sufficient amount of unique content is not worth a listing.

thank you windharp. Does this also mean that Yahoo! also feels that our content is not unique enough to deserve a listing along with other cash advance companies? This is really hurting our traffic and I would like to do whatever is neccesary to resolve this. Also, I can assume that it is a coincedence that Yahoo! has listed us as an affiliate of quikpayday along with DMOZ?

Thanks for all the help. I know that the two issues are unrelated, but you all know how important it is to be listed in the proper categories. I'll keep adding more content, and hopefully DMOZ will accept our site. There are other sites in the same category that have much less content, so any suggestions on modifications to the site would be appreciated. Thanks again for all the help.

Please take a look at the first site in the http://dmoz.org/Business/Financial_Services/Loans/Payday_Advance_Services/ category, http://www.a1prembudg.com. This site redirects to another and is keyword spamming. How did their site get included? Could I do the same?
You can do whatever you want to with your own website, just like we can with ours.
Of course, if you did that with your site, and if you accidentally got included on our site, what do you suppose would happen when someone complained to us?
Hint: try it and see.

Its been a few months since I have checked on the status of our inclusion. Could you please update me on our current status? We have added additional content for our visitors. I hope that this satisfies all requirements to be listed in the ODP. Thanks!
Your submission of June is still waiting for review.
I haven't reviewed your site, but I hope you understand what my fellow editors said: This is a category for Payday Advance Services, and only companies offering these services should be listed - not sites leading to those companies, not sites informing about how it works.
There is a category for informational sites about personal loans: Home: Personal Finance: Money Management: Loans: Personal. But commercial sites won't be accepted there.

uzs980 , thank you very much for looking into this. We are a payday advance serice, proving payday loans, but there are so many different names for the same service. Some call it a cash advance, others a payday advance, and others still, a payday loan. They are all the same exact service being provided, its just that in different states people call it different things for legal reasons. Thanks again for looking into this! We'll wait patiently 
Just checking in, don't even know why I still come here. It would be nice if someone would just let me know if I should stop inquiring about our submission of over 8 months ago. Our site offers relevant content and would be the only one hour service listed in our anticipated category. Please, someone, anyone, just let me know. Thanks!

Sorry for not answering - sometimes threads slip through due to the high amount of postings in here. If you keep asking is up to you - I for myself don't know why people with good websites waste their time coming here again and again. Good sites will be processed eventually, regardless of any enquiries.
