Most directory sites in the small-marketer world were built around 2015 and have been coasting on stale listings ever since. You click through to find half the links dead, the other half redirecting to affiliate-offer pages that no longer exist, and the ratings never change.

This directory is different in three specific ways. Every listing gets tested personally before it goes live — I sign up, surf or submit, and see what actually happens. Every listing gets verified quarterly, with a "last checked" date visible on the entry. And every listing includes the honest notes — what's still working, what's broken, what to watch out for — not just the rating and the affiliate link.

A directory that doesn't tell you what's broken isn't a directory. It's a link farm.

Below, you'll find the two paid-traffic services I operate myself, and a preview of the full directory being built across the categories that matter: traffic exchanges, safelists, solo ad vendors, classified submission, banner exchanges, rotators, and the old-but-still-working corners of the small-marketer ecosystem.
