Guest Posted June 30, 2002 Posted June 30, 2002 This is the official reply from [edited] --- Your site has not been listed in the Open Directory because it is half way between an affiliate site, and a links list. There are no unique designs on your site, just links to other peoples designs. Since we intend to list all the individual sites anyway, we don't need to include another site that simply lists them all. I'm sorry, but that's the way it works here. [Edited] --- I replied saying that buy-tees has over 500 unique designs representing other people using cafepress.com and my own t-shirt printing business. I also in my first email requested he referred me to a more appropriate category if this one was not, but he failed to advise. I am however very puzzled and am left thinking that [edited] is a hypocrite, since he lists t-shirtcountdown .com and t-shirtshopper .com who both are very similar in nature to buy-tees.com. Could an editor please suggest a more appropriate category to be listed in since [edited] did not. TIA Kind regards, Adam http://Buy-Tees.com [Edited: Please do not include editor names, or identifying characteristics when posting editor feedback. It's in the Forum Guidelines.

Meta windharp Posted July 1, 2002 Meta Posted July 1, 2002 Hmmm... Since there is no "official reply from" you received a fairly customized letter from an editor, please remember that /images/icons/smile.gif To www.buy-tees.com: The ODP does NOT list sites that dont offer unique content. Your site only offers links to other sites selling shirts, passing your ID to the seller. That's called "affiliate links". There are no shirts to buy oin your site (or I am to stupid to see them). To http://www.t-shirtcountdown.com/ and the other one: Will be checked, the second has already been removed from directory. Curlie Meta/kMeta Editor windharp
