Why Zeal?

I have one site in Zeal, but as far as I can tell I don't get traffic and the Zeal directory doesn't ahve PR beyond the index. I heard somewhere that getting into Zeal gets you into looksmart - perhaps their directory passes PR?

I have seen Zeal in many backlinks.

in the past MicroSoft was a LookSmart partner.

in the past via my Zeal submissions I could take one word queries worth over a buck a click with hundreds of daily searches on MSN and rank on the first page of the search results.

it is how the initial traffic distribution that drove this idea
http://www.depressionblog.com
came about

love the fact that MicroSoft was helping to point people to vast amounts of my opinion and current user feedbacks from drugs made by big drug companies that are sucking billions of dollars and much mental health out of society each year.

It is a PR-0 link, but it does help your site get crawled if it is new and doesn't have any good links to it. Via the new submissions page, I assume. ( I've experimented with several new sites in the last six months.)

I usually get a few visitors a month, also.

Not a big benefit, but it's free and only takes five minutes of my time. (Zeal is for non-commercial sites only, though.)

That's not true. There's a Shopping category and a few others for business sites.
