Business.com Sold Again
The “original” high ticket priced domain sold to R.H. Donnelly (my former employer in my former life) … I was a fork lift driver for them. Not a time in my life I like to reflect on. Despite the recommendation over the years to submit your site to Business.com, I have never seen a return value in either traffic nor PageRank.
Back when Business.com stopped passing PageRank I was having an email exchange with their director. He inadvertently replied to me instead of his boss regarding the issue and the statements that were made internally about webmasters and SEOs in general were very negative. I have been tempted many times to release that email, but have resisted as I feel it would be unethical. But, I will be honest that it is extremely tempting.
Hold off on submitting your site to Business.com until they can figure out what they are doing.

Thanks for this tip. I have found the directory submission guide provided in your membership site very useful for deciding which directories are worth spending review fees on and whether they pass PageRank or not. Keep up the good work!
