This is strange....

This even has me stumped.

Go here:

On that term, I have had referrals from Hotbot. Now, look at the listing. That is my Looksmart listing.

Can you see why I am confused?...... :confused:

Is this Direct Hit? or Inktomi? or what? ...

I think you said it...that's your Looksmart listing!~ I've noticed our Looksmart listing also appears on HotBot...and has been sending referrals for a while now. I don't have time to go back and get more details, but Looksmart may very well offer more value than one might expect!~ :)

yea, we knew that MSN showed the listing on the first results.. and that Looksmart is the Excite and AltaVista directories...... But now it seems that the listings are incorporated in Hotbot and Excite first results now. wowsie.

And those spots are on sale (http://www.ihelpyouservices.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=68) as we speak!~

Goodness, me oh my.

Any business on the net who is serious about their site, now truly has NO excuse for not dishing out a couple of bucks for a listing. What more proof is needed?

How much is traditional advertising? MUCH more than a couple hundred bucks for long-term benefits.
