    Wish he would fix the Pagestrength tool or I want refund of my $39.99 , after all the fuss about it I signed up and it never seems to pull in alexa data, I hate paying for faulty goods.

    Rand does not say paid links are bad in fact he admits that he buys paid links openly.

    Rand, how about spending that time on something a bit more constructive like fixing the broken tool you are charging people for.

    Absolutely. It is not the time to attack fellow experts while own website is broken. Rand, hope you take it easy. :cool:

    In the old days, a business took out a very expensive and in an industry publication to sell a product. A full page ad (depending on circulation) can run as low as $1500/month on a 12 month deal. (single month run is about 4-6K) Anything less than $18,000/year is a bargain especially when you consider the "potential" number of contacts available. If your directory has 100K hits a month, it would seem that paying for that traffic would be logical.

    I have completely written off the PS tool. I find it to be completely inaccurate 90% of the time. I cancelled my subscription. It's a waste of time, and money.

    Wasn't impressed with Rand at all and I'm just an average guy.... Pfff didn't think he was credible, lacked information and facts...Be the last one I watch from that site.
