Okay, I took the bait and went to BOTW. I did a search on a topic which I’m familiar with: ferries in/to Greece. I used the following search terms: ferries greece, greek ferries, ferry greece, greek ferry.
BOTW gave me 4 related directories, none of them relevant, three in the Regional category, of which 2 in the US (about ferries) and 1 in the UK (about Greek restaurants), and the final one in the Home category (about cooking).
In the top 10 so-called “Matching directory listing” most sites where about Greek recipes, and the others about ferry services in various parts of the US.
Relevancy: zero. WOTW since 1994?
Loren, I submitted http://www.mapsales.com as well as foxnews.com to UmDum a couple of weeks ago. I see foxnews.com now listed but not http://www.mapsales.com. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Jared, Map Sales was submitted during the introductory promo “free” submittal period.
I remember your site in the cue during the promo and yes, it is now running and indexed.
