Greenfeet"I recently decided to go forward with an online ad at EcoMall.com. I debated whether it was going to be a viable option and took a week to decide. I researched your site rank and that was the ultimate determining factor. I am writing to tell you that in the short time we have been listed with the EcoMall I would say that at least 50% of our traffic is now generated from EcoMall listings. I am now confident that listing with the EcoMall is well worth every penny. I look forward to renewing our listing and submitting articles for inclusion on the site."
Amie Nguyen
Earth Friendly Goods"I am stunned. Less than one week after being on your web site, asearch on Google for 'hemp bath products' brought us up as # 1. AndEcoMall is all over the Google results. I envisioned weeks or months doingall kinds of things to try and get listed and placement on Google. You all are certainly worth the cost of doing business with you."
Thanks,

Laurie Stezler
Design Works Jewelry"I wanted to write to lend my support and endorsement for what you guys are doing. When we began developing Access Eco there was no doubt that the first place our site needed to be listed was on the EcoMall. At once activity on the site increased to the extent that the skeptics couldn't claim it was mere coincidence. On the Internet, history is very important. The longer a directory resource has been active the deeper its reach and scope into the vast Web. This is certainly true for the EcoMall. Thanks again for your hard work and for promoting our environment and future."
Sincerely,
Jim King
