Boy are you wrong!

Every two-bit affiliate clone of hotelnow.com invariably traipses through there on their way to spamming the universe and becoming instantly wealthy while they sleep.

We're not an affiliate and being that we are legally selling consolidated travel services, I do not understand why we wouldn't be listed in the category.

Right now, you're waiting review in http://dmoz.org/Recreation/Travel/Tour_Operators which looks like a better place.

Admitted, the site didn't look like an affiliate to me (but that's only one of the spam-submittal checks we have to do. and no submittals were deleted for that reason anyway.)

The site has been shotgun-submitted, and at least one possibly valid submittal may have been deleted just because an editor got trigger-happy at whack-a-mole. (That potential error has been undone.) Another attempt at review failed when the site killed a browser (also, the site layout is downright hostile to anyone that doesn't have exactly the same window size and font size as the webdesigner did -- you might want to look at that.)

You do not need to submit again; check back here in six months, if you wish, to see about the status. (And in the meantime consider the webdesign advice: damaged layout nearly always won't prevent an ODP listing: but it will drive customers away and may delay the ODP listing.)

>I can't imagine there are tons of people submitting to this category.

Mass failure of the imagination, dude! Every hotel-rezzing affiliate doorway spammer calls every one of his pet sites an "independent consolidator" these days.

No, there are lots of submittals, and their average value to surfers is large in magnitude and negative in sign. I'd expect long delays anywhere it's anyway plausible that "my-hotel-now-doorway.spam.spam.spam" could be submitted.
