Jobleader.co.nz – heard of them? heard from them?
December 3rd, 2007 by Sarah KingYears ago I encountered a company called NBD and posted my very popular thread NBO – National Business Online.
I was alerted recently that they’ve started up two new websites: jobleader.co.nz and nzcareerexpo.co.nz. It’s an ambitious project given that the Herald have their search4jobs and there’s seek.co.nz dominating the market.
The good news is that they appear to be trying to make a legitimate business and I’ve seen billboards around town promoting the jobleader.co.nz website.
The bad news (according to Melinda) is that their sales techniques haven’t changed.
So, I was wondering, are there any other New Zealand (or Australian) companies with first hand experiences?

New Zealand (NZ) Directory
April 2nd, 2005 by Sarah KingI have created a New Zealand (NZ) Directory over on my Botspotter site (gotta use it for something) and it even has an NBO category to hold all the sites that I found when scanning the NBO site which I suspect of proforma scams (see earlier post on NBO).
I was going to see if I could add them to my Property Investment Directory but decided to keep them quite separate and to use Duncan Carver’s script.
The directory system itself was a breeze to install with the only issue being, perhaps, the naming of the folders. You do need to be on a *nix box with safe mode turned off. It imported with ease and allowed me to get started with a large amount of content from NZ DMOZ. It gives a few key links at the bottom of the page and you’re required to leave them in place – no doubt paying for Duncan’s time 
And I feel the default templates should automatically state that some of the categories will be boosted by DMOZ data.
All in all though, a big thumbs up to Duncan. Thank you!
NBO – National Business Online
March 30th, 2005 by Sarah KingThe folks at National Business Online (NBO) have just rubbed me up the wrong way – completely!
They rang my husband 4 times this morning insisting that he urgently renew his advertising contract with them. He was busy and got annoyed by the 4 calls and caught my attention. Read the rest of this entry »
