That seems fairly expensive for a new website especially without no Google PR. How do you propose driving traffic to your website?
Might i as you chaps how you fare in the traffic stakes, in the UK ? An yes , your prices Mr-Honest do seem high for a new directory, but does your research suggest that will fly for you cheers
Mr-Honest with his unfair price for a site that is yet to be online. But I guess there is nothing wrong in promoting your services. This thread should better go under "Solicitations & Announcements"
