Why is this not  DDMS deal? This is on sale on Amazon for $28.99 with a free smart light bulb, but everyone cares for a smart light bulb, and in that case this is the best deal on this product so why is it not DDMS?

I'm not 100% sure, but if I had to guess I'd say:

1. It's been selling for $28.99 on Amazon for 10 days now, so if you look at that as the regular price then this is really just a ~14% discount for buying 2, or "buy one get a second for 28% off" which doesn't sound all that amazing.
2. People probably don't have a Belk account, so they have to put in all their info, maybe make an account, etc as opposed to just clicking buy on Amazon. Dan and JJ probably have a pretty good sense of how that affects a deal's popularity.
3. DDMS might not have an affiliate agreement with Belk, which I assume might mean (very understandably) that at times a slightly less amazing Amazon deal might be posted instead of a slightly more amazing deal elsewhere. I'd do the same if I owned a website.

the fact is that the echo dot is currently posed on ddms
 https://www.dansdeals.com/shopping-deals/amazon/amazon-device-pre-black-friday-sale-now-live-save-kindles-echos-ring-doorbells-alarms-cameras-tvs-fire-sticks/
 at 28.99 so the fact the you may believe it may be given out for nothing at a later date didn't it stop it from getting posted, yet that deal is not necessarily the current beat deal

If the latter is the answer that would make me feel that ddms is not giving me necessarily the best known deal, especially after the amex platinum offer which was posted as a 75k offer when it was easy to get 100k or 75k plus upto $300 on dining.

It's always good to be Dan L'kaf Zchus and I'm sure Dan & JJ have their reasons. I agree with Yehudaa, I would probably do the same (although perhaps with a disclaimer) had I had pa website.

It's always good to do your own research especially when it comes to credit cards. DDMS is not the only site out there, one of the best but not perfect:)

This is absurd  ::)

It's a minor seller, as people know they offer them for free and they don't need any more of them.
Plus it was in the Amazon device roundup and not it's own post. And you need to buy 2 of them to get the slightly lower price. Looks like JJ added it to the updated roundup anyway...
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I've noticed that there have been many deals posted recently on DDF that have not made it to DDMS. In fact, I didn't analyze the post rate on DDMS, but it seems to me that there are a lot less posts than usual.

Am I imagining things? Are the deals here not that good? Or do Dan and JJ need some help carrying some stuff over from here to the main site?

You mean you didn't get the marketing position so now you're settling for data entry instead?
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Not the case. As the CEO of YitzyS, I like to know what's going on in all my departments. And as my company is considering buying stocks in DansDeals, I have to know that the leadership here is not slacking off.

I just analyzed the data and I see that the number of deal posts are pretty consistent. Perhaps I got the impression there was less because there were more "last chance to sign up for this credit card" posts. Also, I saw a lot of deals here that didn't make it to DDMS.

This seems like a great deal on a standard product. Any insight into why it didn't make it to DDMS?
I'd assume the buds are a better option. (Not a good reason I know)
