Re: repairifyoucare.co.uk

I applaud what Europart are trying to do and a lot of the messages are certainly right but, it’s got a long uphill battle in front of it.

The site is not well ranked, this is Alexa’s info on it:

To list a business for £10 a month on a site that has no traffic stats, no history and no consumer campaign to make people aware of its existence seems to me (personally) to be taking a punt or just giving your support to the concept in the form of a payment.

Funnily enough, I seem to recall making exactly the same points about a similar site not so long ago which was a very, very similar sort of service.

The point is that, you can list your business completely free of charge on many other websites, including Google as all WTA members know if they’ve read the posts on how to do it and quite likely get much more from those for nothing. I guess, once you’ve exhausted all the free routes (Google, UKW, Freeindex, Yell, Scoot and so on) and you still feel the need to pay to advertise online there’s no harm in it at all and, no harm being listed on a quality site. In fact, being listed on good quality sites can be very good for you.

However, without the traffic to get the business or something to get customers clicking or calling me, I’m afraid it’s not for me just yet. Not for any other reason than that as I do like the idea in general, but will punters?
