BOTW listing

[azguy]

Okay, I've heard a lot about botw.org listing and how it should be on our list. So I dig down to my category, and according to seotoolbar, page does NOT show a google cache date.

Well, wouldn't that be a wast of $150?

Also, I think I'm in the wrong business. I'm seeing these HUGE fees for seo and link building services. Even just consulting is outrageously high.

There has got to be an option for us little guys, but obviously professionals in the seo market are making a ton of money.

First of all, good links are hard to come by. Either you know someone, or you can pay a lot for a review fee.

BOTW is probably near the top of any SEO's inbound link checklist. If you have the budget, the $150 is worth it. Although your category might not get a lot of traffic, you still earn an inbound link from a new domain, which provides some upward pressure on your search listings.

But what about the page not being cached by google?

@azguy, can you offer a link to the page you are referring to?

@Bryce, would you mind sharing the sites on your checklist? The only directories I consider at all are DMOZ, Yahoo and BOTW. Are there others you feel are important?

Those are the top three for any website. You might consider joeant.com or a few of the other high-ranking directories.

Also added the BBB to the list, thanks to this article.
