    feels like I spent a fortune, but I am hoping it will help rank me better in the serps. for the keyword tutoring, I am on page 5 now. about a month ago I was not even listed for it.

    Pray it works...

    It feels like it because its true :)
    For such a young site it should give you a good initial boast... continue building quality and quantity and you're positioning will continue to improve!

    botw didn't help me at all, infact it was a waste of money - definitely not recommended

    If you want quality you unfortunately have to pay for it.

    thanks guys, for my target keyword the yahoo directory is pulling spot number two on google now. alive, aviva, there were only 3-4 sites in the educational services category, so I think that's good.

    Best of luck may feel like a fortune now but in the long run it may of been a great bargain if it brings the traffic and outcome you wish for your site :)

    You wise nerd:p
    How did you get such decision?:eek:

    Thats the best decision you made.:cool:

    Also keep on continually building links and use the anchor. Build it slow and steady. In few weeks time you will be right up there.

    Best of luck:cool:

    I have just checked all the top 10 sites with that keyword on Google. Getting quality educational links first, I think you may have to get at least PR5.

    Providing all those links are "cached" then it defiantly did have an impact. :D

    Now i would try Romow , directorydump, clush, Forplex and a few others in the avivas strongest list
    that look like a decent directory.

    Note: Clush is powerful but NO paypal option.:(

    thx

    i put a project on elance for 100 relevant pr2-3 links. these will be added progressively. my yellow book campaign is about to start so I will be getting a link from there, and perhaps a press release through send2press in the future.

    Try the free lists when you launch your next site. Maybe not as quick but the same results and a lot cheaper.

    Here is a comprehensive list of all directories that Google recognized as Authority Directory

    You are already in 4 of them. You might try the rest.

    Also don't forget the directory providing these resources;) -it might also become one in the future:p
