I won't be signing up either, that'd get me a new amp, new mixer or a good way towards a new (s/h) van :D :p :D

Dratt - I need a lottery win or a very rich friend ;) :D

Thoughts please.

My first thought is that listings sites normally give you advertising rates & let you compile & pay for your ad, which they add to the site once it's approved...but this site shows no rates & merely gives you an email address & phone number to contact if you wish to advertise.

My second thought it that after searching for wedding entertainers in the South East of England & only having result come up, it's probably a complete waste of time...even if the listing was FREE!

Surely the complete opposite, my widely advertised friend? :confused: Doesn't being the only one on the site make it more likely that you would get results? ;) :confused:

Err......no!

How many people will spend time on a directory site which only has one listing?

Err......no!

How many people will spend time on a directory site which only has two or three listings?

The customer might not know that ;) when they are browsing it

How would they not know there was only one listing if they did a search for wedding entertainers & only one result came up? :confused:

My point is that a directory with only a couple of listings will probably be so far down the Google rankings, it's unlikely anyone will find it in the first place!

If I set up a wedding directory website with just one listing in each area of the UK, I'm guessing it wouldn't get many hits.

Oi Ref! Rob's moving the goalposts. :eek:


I see what you mean now, I :bowdown: to your undoubted expertise in this matter. I should never have questioned the knowledge of the master. :o :o
