I registered for a free listing with them on there website, a day or two later i got a call from one of Their sales reps. He would not get it into his head that i did not want to pay to have a logo on their site, he kept going on and on and i kept telling him that i only wanted a free listing. eventually he got sh.tty and said yeah whatever goron and put the phone down. didn't get my free listing that they advertise either. I say boycot this company.

Cheers Goron

I can't find my site and if I'm not on it , then they must have rejected me , as I've tried all of them :)

One of the hassles of getting free listings is the almost inevitable sales call.

Cheers,

Doug

Still rubbish. City visitor used to come out the top entry on google for most searches in your town.

This was when I thought I'll have some that :D

Google was changed a few weeks ago - they don't appear at all now on a search of " carpet cleaning my town" :'(

Another £200 wasted!!

Don't do it.

Search engines use keywords when creating a list from a search. City link base their success on using the word "IN". Such as:

Carpet Cleaner IN London - this will give a city-visitor listing near top.

BUT type in.........

Carpet Cleaner London - and hey presto, city-visitor doesn't even get a hit.

I just had a call from one of their sales-people and pointed this out. Got the response "What do you know, you are only a carpet cleaner!"

Guess they have been found out by a lowly carpet cleaner then eh? Who - in a past life has been in Telecomms and Internet design for approx 17 years! Guess I know nothing........ not all of it, but I always go by the thought, if I don't know it, I damn well know where to find the answer!

Paul

P.S. Stay away from them and DON'T pay for a listing - just my advice
