    Well, I can understand why you might be interested in this. 35 links for $135. Fair price I think. BUT, it seems that all 35 of these directories (of which I have never heard of a single one) are duplicates of each other. I don't know if Google will count all (or any) of those as links since Google hates duplicate content. But I guess you can't know unless you submit.

    Nah, I probably wouldn't do it. Looks like a scam with all the sites looking the same, except for the colors. One person making a lot of directories, then charging people to submit to them all.

    The person may even have it where he can submit a url to all of the directories at once. A quick $135...

    I think you could spend that $135 on other fairly cheap directories and get a couple dozen links that Google will actually count. I agree with the last poster that the guy probably is using the same database for all the directories and probably just submits one time and BAMM he's 135 bucks richer.

    I think it is worth it specially if they are all on different c-class IP's.

    We have just as many directories ourself but we require a link to some of our other non-directory sites.

    PM me if you are interested in 3-way link exchanges or parallel link exchanges.

    Thanks for the heads up on that. Moved some stuff around yesterday and the thanks page and the error page got lost I guess. Appreciate that. ;)

    Unscrupulous operators like this seldom last long. Don’t waste your time or money. If the search engines don’t catch it somebody will turn them in.

    I run a directory site, and I've only heard of 2 of thsoe dirs. Why don't you just submit to them yourself for free? They don't offer anything that submitting to free directories wouldnt give you.

    Submit for free, dont do it.
