Exact Seek - Beware

About 1-2 times a month, Jayde Online, publishers of the popular Site Pro News and owners of Exact Seek push rather hard their service, and a few fall for it as they make some pretty good claims:

- Flat Fee
- Featured Listing
- Low Cost ($3-4 a month)
- Top Ten Exposure
- World Wide Placement

The problem is, they don’t really spell out where that placement will be, and the site has been hammered in the last few Google PageRank updates, falling all the way down to a PR3, which is below average quality for a site, and really low for a directory.

I even did some testing on dozens of sites. The result? A trickle of traffic and no conversions. And I’m not talking about just sales here, I had no REAL signups for free newsletters or free offers. Oh sure I had lots from automated bots, but those were flushed with my captcha verification.

My advice is spend your time and money somewhere else. This isn’t a good place to be.
