Is Microsoft BCentral a good place to list? They charge $45 per year. Any body have any experience? Thanks

Yes, I use BCentral for all my site submissions (have done about 30 so far), and the process is very straight forward. I also appreciate BCentral's search engine ranking system (Position Checker/TrackIt), as I can check all kinds of information in relation to my site's search engine rank.

Hope this helps,
Karyn

I've been told that bCentral is a great place to get listed as they will also list a number of deep links. I've never tried it myself though.

I have listed a few sites there.

the price goes down as you submit more sites
1 for 49
3 for 100
10 for 300

the turnaround time is fairly quick and you get to add a ton of deep links into your site. a good buy for many industries in my opinion.

I still try the directories that are non recurring first, but 49 for this or 99 for the business.com directory are really cheap for online businesses.

deep linking is linking to your inner pages

By the way.. What are their editorial policies like? Are they too strict to give a desired Title and Category? Does it feed it results to other sites too? Where does bcentral results show any way?

B Central just shows in B Central as far as I know.

you are allowed to list your site in up to three categories.

if they do not accept you listing you can try it again and try it again.

I was somewhat liberal so as to test their editorial standards and I had to resubmit one of my entries twice, but it did not cost me anything.

they are kinda stringent on some and then less on some of your inner page type stuff.
