in my experience, you will do better investing the time to do it yourself

to the " major " engines. most of the 'we'll do it for you' it the 'no one

ever heard of them' free for all listings pages, or the engines that aren't

USED.

and the ones that " guarantee " high placement will normally find a keyword

that no one would use to find you.

I get a LOT of spam from folks who want to guarantee a top listing for my

site...... my formletter response is " you found me didn't you? "

a well written site with careful design of keywords etc, and some time

spent looking at what each SE wants lets you do it yourself a lot more

effectively than some stranger could.
