    Hi,

    Just wondering before I submit my directory into starting point and risk my 99$ review fee, is it hard to get listed in starting point directory?

    Any info appreciated

    For a directory? The guidelines are pretty stringent; minimum Alexa ranking, inbound links to your site are also a factor as well as the content. I believe you can ask if your site would be included prior to submitting by using the contact form.

    ask for a review before paying any fees. They will let you know whether your site would be accepted or not.

    for me, i rather put my money where i can guarantee at least some ROI. Firstly, i believe that you do not have any visibility on why they might reject your site. Secondly, you can do so much with $99 and i'm sure you can find other good links for that price or even less. Have not tried submitting to them, pls correct me if i'm wrong ;)
