SEO tips = better search engine ranking

February price increases on jtrotta.com

The current prices are:

$39.90 for a top level category (e.g. Web directory - Travel)
$29.90 for a 2nd second level (e.g. Web directory - Travel - Accommodations)
$19.90 for a third level (e.g. Web directory - Travel - Accommodations - Asia)
$9.90 for a 4th level (e.g. Web directory - Travel - Accommodations - Asia - Thailand).

The new prices will be effective Feb.1, 2006:

$69.90 for a top level category (e.g. Web directory - Travel)
$35.90 for a 2nd second level (e.g. Web directory - Travel - Accommodations)
$18.90 for a third level (e.g. Web directory - Travel - Accommodations - Asia)
$9.90 for a 4th level (e.g. Web directory - Travel - Accommodations - Asia - Thailand).

The pricing hierarchy is set up so that eople getting listed on deeper pages get the same value as people getting listed in top level categories. However that's not happening with the 39/29/19/9.90 prices).

As a result, too many people are asking me questions like "Can my site about tourist attractions in Athens go in the top level travel category?" The reason so many people ask is because the top level categories are a better deal than the deep pages.

So, the new prices should help me fix the problem that some webmasters running general sites get better deals than others running niche sites. You can still submit before Feb 1. to get the old prices on jtrotta.com.
