Re: Does LookSmart get results? From David A on 15 Dec '00 replying to Does LookSmart get results? posted by Gary >For $199, LookSmart promises to review a site within 48 hours and, if it meets their standards, to list it soon (a couple of weeks or so; I don't remember exactly.) > >For $99 they'll do the same, but not as quickly. Either way, you pay only once for the duration. > >Has anyone used their service? Gotten good traffic from it? Will you get traffic from Looksmart? No not much. Will you get traffic from portals that use the Looksmart directory like Altavista, MSN, IWON, Excite, etc? You bet. The value is that many other sites use the Looksmart directory for their portals. For this same reason the Inktomi and Google search engines are important, as they are used by multiple sites.
