Well i got it for 149+ for a priority ad, obviously he said it should have cost me 300+ but hes paid to say that! have i been shafted??

Hi
149+ doesnt sound like much for a listing. I guess if you want to calculate value you should consider how well thier site lists for things your customers would type.
eg in google does it appear 1-3 for carpet cleaning/cleaners/cleaner [your city] ?
They usually say they will bring you business, but if they appear in irrelavent searches, users will not call you. For eaxmple, in glasgow, they appear @ position 10. http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=carpet+cleaning+glasgow so i think at least where im standing, 149 isnt a good investment considering the revenue generated by the number 1 spot. If you would like to discuss better options, feel free to email me.

hi
yes i am thinking of going to goole too, so can you please inlighten me?

I would think its a waste of money in my opinion.
But its not a great deal of money and its tax deductable so ...

You may get the No 1 spot but if no one visits the web site in question..
-
City Visitor is a waste of money.
-
they have been trying to pitch me it all sounds good and they always have the top listing on google, haven`t made my mind up yet, why do you say its a waste of money?
-
Hi,
Basically, its a waste of money as your driving your potential customers to a big list of carpet cleaners through a cumbersome interface.
It would be much better to have them land on your site that screams phone you (and only you).
That said, its a pretty small investment and you would only need to jobs to cover the cost.
