If your tired of blowing your money on SEO programs that allege they can get you in the top 10 on the major search engines, you might want to consider this:

Under the search term "web hosting" The Web Host Directory - http://www.webhostdir.com is now ranked in the top 5 on:

http://www.google.com
http://www.lycos.com
http://www.hotbot.com

Unlike the major search engines you really can influence your position in our Search Engine results. And you don't have to pay us, or anyone else a penny :-)

Its this simple......

1. Add yourself to our directory, unless your already listed, by visiting: http://www.webhostdir.com/hostsentry.asp

2. Update you plans regularly.

That's it......

Our site prioritises its search results with the most up to date information. That way our users don't get out of date information. Once you've registered you'll be assigned an account manager (not salesperson) who is available to help you modify your listing and maximise the results you can get from our site.

Last month our site referred over 20,000 sales leads free of charge from our search engine alone!

Well.. your media kit says 30,000 and not 20,000 :)

I'm in a dilema... don't know whom to believe. :)

Cheers!

That's last years media kit and is referring to the whole site not the search engine. Its being updated to coincide with our magazine launch and new site design.

Last month the whole site did 55,000 referrals. We have all our referrals audited via DART Double click reporting. All our clients are already aware of this.

So don't believe me, believe Doubleclick, or one of our 157 advertisers.

I'm sure once youve been in the business a bit longer and got some professional systems intergrated, you'l realise that false claims dont keep you in business very long!

We've been referring sales since 1997, not 3 months ago!

Cheers!

I apreciated the interest youve placed in our media kit so much I thought I'd return the favour :-)

Just been looking through your media kit and I see your stating that your site recieves targeted visitors who are:

"ONLY by webmasters, and IT professionals"

How do you know, theyre only Webmasters and IT profesionals? What system are you using to identify their demographics?

I'm in a dilema... don't know whom to believe. :-)

Good one :)

We have our ways :) and besides we don't need doubleclick to realize that if our site is listed only in webmaster related sites and related ONLY to webhosting that our visitors are IT professonals and webmasters...


for more accurate demographics we have our own system :)

huh!

any response for this answer? :)

didn't think so :)


Cheers!

Well actually not so new, I mean we're not here from 97' I won't lie to you... (with findsp.com)

However, I am the owner of a few other sites that are here even before 97, I have been project manager for some major portals - so before you boost up your ego...

relax... take a deep breath... and think about what you're gonna say again..

not all of us are newbies.. :)

BTW if I'm not mistaking WebHostdir.com didn't get such a good review at the Web Hosting Magazine :(

hmm....

anyways, I really like your site and I wish you the best of luck with it...
