Has anyone used this directory?

I came accross this UK business directory. Has anyone else used it?

Well? Has anybody used it or what?

I guess nobody here has. I know I haven't, and I don't see any reason why I should.

The categories look alright enough - but when you click through the actual individual listing pages have horrendous URLs - you'll not get a search engine spider through those.

Well, that would be okay if it was a directory that gets a lot of traffic. Search engine spidering isn't the only reason to be listed in a directory. However, I didn't see any evidence that this particular directory received much traffic.

Hmmm... How do you go about checking the amount of traffic a particular site attracts? I know that Alexa provide some information, but is there any other particular method or service you use?

There are a number of things I look at. You mention Alexa rankings. I do look at those. Based upon Alexa rankings alone, the traffic the site you mention gets isn't too impressive. I have several sites with around the same Alexa ranking as that, and I know how little traffic they get, so I don't imagine this site gets much better. Conisidering the type of site, if it's not getting in the top 50,000 or better in Alexa, you wouldn't even really need to look beyond that. What I mean by the type of site is that it's a generalist type site that should attract webmasters (who would have Alexa installed). If it were a niche site on some esoteric topic, I wouldn't pay much attention to that ranking.
