Okay, you are the second person that has made a comment like that, so I have to ask, what do you mean?
This is a directory, it is not a top list. It is for link building. It is not meant to send "instant traffic." This is part of SEO.
Do you trade links? Or hope people will trade with you? Well, this is better because no recip is required.
Now, if you trade links for the sole purpose of the other party sending you massive traffic then you might want to re-think things.
If you trade links in an effort to raise your PR and SERPS, then you have to know this is not an instant gratification thing.
Again, all links on this directory are SE friendly.
I know it is difficult for some of you to grasp that someone might be willing to give you something for free, and for those of you that feel that way, you are more than welcome to wait a couple months at which point we will charge you to get listed.
