Is DealFuel worth it?
Our reading of the measured data, not a score.
Worth a post if its members are your customers.
DealFuel made Google's top 10 in 1 of the 12 buyer searches we ran for the 3 business types it accepts. It didn't show up for freelancers and SaaS products. That's typical: directories of any kind held only 13% of the top-10 spots in those searches, so what DealFuel offers is the people who browse it directly. We couldn't establish the price from its public pages. Profile links are reported nofollow, so list for customers, not for SEO links.
