AA is a great starter site. If you are not computer literate, or have much spare time, then its not bad. You can get good results in the serps with their site, but you will have to work at it harder. If you have the budget, than a custom site is definitely the way to go. I would suggest going with an established provider, rather than a newbie, especially since it will be a hefty investment.

Isn't that sort of contradictory? I would think that if you are not computer literate then no matter how hard you work you won't get anywhere till you first become computer literate.

If you know how to go about it you can get a custom site for less than AA. How about a full featured site, including a listing management, membership section, built-in visual editor to maintain your content, and plenty of free or paid assistance for about $600? All you need to do is add your local content and listings, as you grow the site will grow with. Did I mention, it is also user and SE friendly.

Hi frobn,

Feel free to invite visitors to view your sites by posting in one of the 2 product forums but the last post borders on blatant solicitation which is a not permitted.

The funny thing is that AA has all the things he mentioned anyway. I'm happy with my site and I've seen a lot of AA sites high in the search engines.

I didn't say I was offering, but I see that could be inferred. I actually had several other web developers in mind that provide the services. You just have to know how to reseach.
