Does anybody have any information or has anybody read about the number of hits or percentage of hits they recieve from the Microsoft Business Directory?

I put in for the directory on Friday (yesterday) and was approved and listed this morning -- all ten pages are there, though the first come / first serve listing is a bit unfortunate...only one of the pages I'm on currently has PR. I'll update if it has any impact on MSN traffic.

Just a quick note for those who might be evaluating bCentral. I found that I was submitting different pages to different categories. Many of the 'additional directories' created errors and it this part seemed to be more of a waste of time. Also having to retype my company info for each page was extremely frustrating.
The listing in bCentral is probably worth the investement. The additional directories are very minor and most I have never heard of. Just venting more than anything...

to avoid retyping it all copy your data to a word file.

many small directories may be kinda junkie, but when you get links from like 50 different directories and your competitors do not have those links that is a huge advantage to you.

just make sure you are getting static links from pages that are indexed.

Good tip. I just created this smokin' Excel file that has all my keywords ( over 2000 including misspellings ) broken into category. Categories of KW's include the URL of my page, a short description and an email address that I don't mind getting spam at - making submitting to search engines and directories a breeze.

I track my Google adwords, website stats, most requested pages and conversion ratios.

Are other SEO's this organized?
