    Would you rather have a search engine bot on your directory or a human?

    Always a human browser for me. I want to create value for my advertisers.
    To me this is real people looking at their information.

    If nothing else, it is branding their image. What is the saying in marketing? Something like, on average someone won't recognize your brand or buy your product until they see it at least 7 times?

    So the more people that see their site the better.. :)

    Well, I will like to see human browser converting into submitters ;)

    The biggest success one directory owner can have is when people are "actually" searching for site/information in his directory. I will like to get to that point. :)

    You sound like if they are going to submit some "hot" picture instead of a site ;)

    What I have gotten from this thread, is that everyone would rather get good direct human traffic than good SERPS.
    And only one of you mentioned that someone looking for information on their directory was GOLD.
    Kudos and rep to Fastian for giving that answer
    Rep to shenron for bringing up the female matter :D
    Edit: can't rep you again already Bruno (shenron)

    Human. All needed actions- submits, traffic; real visitors is the end goal. Of course though if you get no bots, how do you get the serps to get the humans? Which came first? The bot or the human?

    Probably the bot.
