Hi Miki,

I'm using FindWhat actually. I've considered Ah-Ha and still might try it,
but I'm not expecting much...

Heh, guess I'm cheap. It suits my business well though. Most of my
competitors bid similar bids (a penny) simply to be listed - that's my goal.
And since I was one of the first with Overture in my field, that penny usually
gets me in the top 3 that are displayed on Overture's partnered results
listings (i.e. on Yahoo, etc.).

Well, I've gotten a small amount of traffic from FindWhat, but it's better
than nothing. Ah-Ha.com appears to have listings on quite a few small
engines, etc. I need to look into them a little more though. Take care,
