So "free directories" are pretty much useless then, right?

Nope quite the opposite! I know of a company who run their own network of websites - all very similar in terms of content but lots and lost of different domain names.

They sell this as a service and promise to get you on to page 1 very quickly. And you know what, it works!

They are an AdWords qualified company too and place the Google logo on their home page.

Am actually tempted to create a new site and take them up on the offer while it still works (been about 7 years now!).
