I am happy to announce that the updated version of my Directory Marketing ebook is out! It now contains close to 5,000 directories in the bonus list, with a few hundred new ones added and all the pageranks updated. Based on the customer feedback we have received, I have also added a special worksheet to [...]
It’s been one month since the release of my Directory Marketing Reborn ebook. It’s been a great success, with over 4,000 visits from almost 100 countries and 600 cities. Over 200 copies sold in the very first month and a number of plausible reviews from the industry authorities. Out of all these copies sold, we’ve [...]

Seems like this topic doesn’t fade away like some expected but only gets people more interested in it. Even those who at first grumbled about MySpace’s ugly design and screwed up usability [...]
