yes.. IMO there are two ways to look at this as an advertiser.
1. The page may not have a high pr but there are lots of other businesses, namely my competition - I will add.
2. The page has few other business entries but has a pr of 2 or above - I will add.
Here is one thing I may suggest? just an idea but based on what I have just said, is it illegal for a web directory to add a dangled carrot business on their page without asking that company's permission.
Say for instance I look at your web directory, I am a finance company in West Mids, the first company I see listed is HSBC bank for west midlands, I will think 'yes, this site must be important as HSBC are advertising on their first page, this one must be worth advertising with for myself even if it's free submission' now obviously HSBC won't list but can you list them without their permission to create a higher profile?
