Hi Folks, I am work with an online business directory with subdomains that are able to be found on search engines with key words etc. Our results are not too shabby not withstanding GDS etc etc. Yahoo is pretty good.

We are considering paying for a service to help with our ranking, particularly on Google. Looking for comments / advice please (based on experience) on which one of these two products are the best value for money versus results? :confused:

1. Ineedhits - "Premium Submit"
2. Exactseek - "Featured Listings"

Thanks and cheers!
to me exact seek seems to get a bunch of new (and often poor) webmaster traffic. I found them when first getting on the web. so did my brother later. if you are targeting new webmasters they may have ok traffic quality. if not then not sure if their traffic will match up with what you are looking for.

I would also guess that (at least based on my earlier experience and the experience of my brother) their traffic comprises largely of people checking their own rankings and whatnot and not so much traffic who will see a broad range of ads or even notice them when checking their ranks unless you are bidding on their terms

as far as premium submit I generally view search engine submission as a waste of resources. just get links and search engines will find you. if you are already in the indexes then submitting again is probably not going to do much for you.

I see they submit to Jayde, which is a directory, but most the other sites they submit to are either search engines or sites which I have not heard of.
