Here’s a new web directory, WishfulRanking.com, that’s kind of a pay per click directory, as opposed to a pay per click (PPC) search engine. Here’s how it works:
At wishfulranking, you select your category as you would in any other directory, then instead of paying a flat rate to be added to the directory, you place a bid - auction style. The more you bid the higher in the directory your listing is placed.
Bids start at $1.25, you can stay in the directory for that amount, if you’re outbid you can simply place a higher bid to move your listing up in the ranks. I checked, it looks like PR is being passed to the sites listed, however at this time the site isn’t showing any PR of its own and only the homepage is currently listed in Google. I expect this will change pretty quickly as the site gets it own backlinks from press releases and reviews (like this one).
Anyway, it’s an interesting concept, I submitted this site, the process was straight forward, I made my payment using Paypal (it was the only payment option). I paid the minimum amount ($1.25) as there were no other sites in my category. As of this writing, my site is in going through the review process.
have a look for yourself.
