    Do not use Tygo - they suck major. I put an ad there for a lots of keywords... no clicks at all!

    They are lame and is not popular at all! Do not advertise there or you are giving away money!

    Tygo is a search engine and directory.

    The directory has both free and paid (faster) submissions.

    I have submitted most of my sites via the free submission process, so my ROI won't be too negative no matter how well (or poorly) they perform. :)

    Greetings :)
    My name is Nick from Tygo.com I figured Id stop by here to answer a few questions that you guys/girls may have about Tygo. First, Tygo.com is a fairly new search engine, although the traffic is growing at the rate of 20-25% each month the amount of traffic for the keywords searched is spread out by all the words.

    tommyg, I invite you to email support@tygo.com and report the poor ROI to see if there is anything they can do to help you out. I know they want to keep people happy and have done things like give coupons for credit for accounts like was done at Pubconference in Las Vegas and SES in San Jose.

    There are a few ways to advertise on Tygo and like Will.Spencer mentioned there is free submission to both the search results and the directory.

    Back to the traffic, we're growing and want people to understand that we're serious about search and have been working on Tygo for a few years now. Over the past few months we've come out of beta and have been rolling out new features and algorithms to make better search, a continuous job.

    I think Tygo is cool.
    They gave me a free ppc card and a t-shirt for attending webmasterworld conference.
    Thier directory service sounds to be pretty promising if anything.

    The only free submission I saw for Tygo was for non-commercial sites. They state that commercial sites have to pay a fee. :eek:

    There are a few ways to get included into the directory, you can apply to become an editor, you can submit your site for free if non-commercial or do paid inclusion, a one time fee. We do ask that non-commercial sites take advantage of the free submit into the directory and reserve the free submit for non-commercial sites as it is human editors taking their time to approve and build the directory. :)

    Being spidered however doesn't matter what type of site you are, the TygoProwler aka the spider will index all sorts of data. :)

    So what is considered non-commercial?
    What qualifies a non commercial site? Does having adwords disqualify you for free non-commercial inclusion?

    Also for being small, Tygo is pretty aggresive. They had a big presence at Webmaster World's conference in Las Vegas.

    love your auto site and submitted there, Gino ... got you on http://directory.sitetutor.com in return. But I took off the word "link" in the title and description. It's a "bad" word you don't even want to use in this forum
    :D

    btw tygo kicks ass, thanks :)

    later,
    Mike

    OK, the word link is removed. When a site promoter want;s to promote a site they do a search for keyword + links or keyword + directory. One day I will be close to the top. We are about as tough to get listed in as DMOZ :)

    ginostylz, non-commercial means that it is not a commercial site ;) eCommerce sites would be an example of commercial. We're proud to take part in these conferences and have been active in the community :D

    Where is the line drawn? If dmoz had adsense or banners does it make them ecom? How about Digital point. They have adsence, + banners + he sells commercial tools. But would digitalpoint need to pay to get his forum listed?
    How about carandauto.com. Would you consider it non-commercial? I do not sell advertising, I do list adsence. Because I may make 4-5 dollars per month am I E-Com?
    Or should I just submit and find out later?
