      Does anyone know more information about this directory? Is it a good quality directory that I should pay to get listed on?

        A good directory, especially those that have an actual offline as well as online presence are still a valid marketing route.

        So long as your business has a north american trading address you can get a free listing from them here:

        Good luck.

          We have been using MacRae's for a number of years and it returns a positive ROI. It's a good quality directory and we use it for industrial B2B advertising (we also use ThomasNet as well).  Others include: MFG.com/Globalspec.com/Alibaba (however--we don't use these anymore).

              I believe so. I did notice a small upward trend for long tails of product categories on our site that we had on MacRae's. I can't say for so, but it definitely did not hurt.
