I think you are mischaracterizing the response. The problem isn't the look of the site. It is the lack of unique relevant content. In this category, "retail services" is the ONLY relevant content, and "affiliate" is by definition "non-unique." You can't wash the earwax out of that silk purse!

Dear Editors:

 

Please let us know the status of our new submission status when you have a free moment.

 

Thank you!

Your site is in the unreviewed queue with several others. As there is no listed editor in the category [or the one right above it], it's hard to tell when it will be considered.

 

However, as all the other editors pointed out above - no unique content (in this case, product) means the site does not get a listing.

 

Please understand that the purpose of ODP is not to cater to webmasters. We are the largest, most comprehensive directory of sites on the Web. Listing a site in Shopping that has the same product as another site already listed there is helping us be 'largest' but not 'most comprehensive' (because it is redundant with respect to the product available) - and it needs to be both. Listing two sites that offer the same product is not being 'comprehensive' and thus a disservice to users of the ODP. [see http://dmoz.org/socialcontract.html ]

Dear ODP Editors:

 

We are writing to inquire about our most recent submission to ODP. Since some new websites were added to the category, we thought now would be the time to ask.

 

Thank you!

Your site is still awaiting review in that category and the last site to be added there was added in the middle of August (i.e. not recently).

 

I doubt your site will get listed however for reasons other editors have already pointed out in this thread.
