Anyone pay for business directory advertising?

HI Everyone,

I am one of those people that are very wary about paid advertising as they can promise lots of things that usually don't happen.
Has anyone advertised with Business Magnet and if so have you seen any benefits.

Hi Jenny,

You are certainly right to be cautious about spending money on advertising and marketing, it is key to getting a good return on your investment. Obviously I cannot directly answer your question, as we are Businessmagnet and it wouldn't be an unbiased opinion if we did. However we have 1000's of happy enhanced profiles on the directory, all of which have viewable results and statistics which can be accessed at the bottom of every advert. We also have video and written testimonials too.

As 28th June 2012 Businessmagnet received a full facelift, with every piece of code being re-written from scratch, there is a revised customer login system allowing far more functionality for free and paid listings, updated results and statistics and plenty more features.

The search system has also been updated to include a Google style predictive search, which recognises what you are typing, and instantly displays and updates results the more specific the keyword you enter.

Please visit Businessmagnet and login to your account to take control of your advert and see what free extras you can now add to your advert to maximise its potential.

Hi Jenny

We too are always nervous about signing up online having been ripped off before. No need to worry - Business Magnet are an honest bunch - not only that they have done me a good turn over the years. I have been a happy customer of theirs for about 5 years and have found their advertising beneficial to my overall online marketing strategy.
They are very well clued up as far as SEO is concerned and they have also completed work to achieve better search engine rankins on my own website. Thumbs up from me

In my opinion, pretty much all online directories are a waste of money and are unlikely to get you any sort of return on your investment.

A few years back when I was starting out on my own I spent a small fortune on directory listing - the only one we ever got any calls from was FreeIndex - in fact we still get calls from free index and this was a free listing.

I think you should save your money and find a better way to advertise and be wary of any forum commments where a new user (1st post) tells you just how great the directory is!
