In my opinion, this couldn’t happen to a more deserving crew.
My personal experience with LookSmart was painful. I ranked well there with a free listing, but I decided to promote one of my unranked sites through LookListings. While I was at it, I chose to change a few things about my already-well-ranked site listing.
I’m sure this was hidden in their T&C somewhere, but I wasn’t aware that once I opened an account for a domain, I would never again be displayed as a free listing. After a few months, I decided their traffic was not worth 15c a click. And once I cut off the money, blammo, my site was gone for good. The traffic wasn’t worth 15c in my opinion, but it was nice for free. I was much better off before I ever spent a nickel there.
