So, we’ve been listed under London on Haystack for a few weeks now. With the site being newly launched and only a couple of other people having a paid listing we thought we would give it a go and see what happens, it’s only $99 after all.
According to Analytics we’re getting an average of 10 visits per day sent from Haystack which isn’t too bad. The problem is that most of these visitors are from the US – only one visitor every day is from the UK and slightly less than that are actually from London.
Since we signed up the number of paid listings on the London page has increased and so has the daily number of visitors we receive. This week we’re averaging a huge 13 every day 
We’ve got another week until our first month is up and then we’ll make the decision whether to continue paying for a listing. At the moment it doesn’t look like it’s going to be worth it unless our exposure to the UK market increases.

Very interested in your results, because our online agency is also wondering the effects of Haystack.
We are situated in The Netherlands, so also a ‘niche’ on this site.
Have you had any more luck with the name change to sortfolio? They got a fair amount of press for it, and have been actively advertising a lot more these days.
We’re on a free listing now and get an average of one hit through from Sortfolio each week. It’s a nice website and a nice idea but I won’t be signing up for a paid listing again any time soon.
