TopSEOs.com $15,000 per month listing fees

There has been a lot of talk recently about how TopSEOs.com might not be the “Independent Authority on Search Vendors” they claim to be. I’ve not followed all the blog posts about it but today I decided to see just how much it would cost to get Branded3 listed on TopSEOs for all the services we offer.

As you can see from the screenshot below, the $500 monthly fee for each category adds up to a nice $15,000 per month fee for being listed. TopSEOs state that this fee is for “research and time is spent on reviewing your organization and talking to your clients” and in the next paragraph state that “unfortunately, some firms do not make their way to the final list. In such a case you will be reimbursed.”

    That sure is one expensive directory link! Must have some strong SEO juice hay!

    call me a skeptic…but…i’m guessing a $15k a month advertiser always makes the list.

    Makes me want to laugh. I would not pay $500 for all the links. If it would be PR7 I would think twice, otherwise just a waist of money.

    That’s a lot of money to spend on something less that a PR7 I’d think.

    What exactly are you paying for? A paid directory listing that passes very little juice and little recognition from those within the industy.

    I really believe that’s a hell of a sum for being listed there, I mean, come on, will this guarantee you some new clients? A boost in SERP?

    I am curious if someone actually pays that amount of money…

    Wow! That’s really expensive. Do they really pay that much for those services? I can do a lot with $500. Do clients receive reports on the success of their businesses using those services?

    Strange, 15.000 for seo only? Better to pay 5k for a good idea, 5000$ for quality website (including SEO), 5000$ to promote. Seo is not a thing to pay 15.000$ monthly.

    I’m going nuts trying to find an honest review of some of the companies on this site. Particularly, the top three.

    @ Henry. Agreed.

    1 – Do the top listed agencies have great rankings for their own keywords?
    2 – Does anyone else, besides TopSEOs rate them as the best?
    3 – Are there any reviews of the top listed agencies on a) TopSEOs or b) any other review/rating website?

    Not one review was posted by any customers on their personalized TopSEOs page.
