[2] Announe to various forums that allow Here is one list> http://blog.inetzeal.com/2006/07/28...-1-announce-your-directory-to-popular-forums/
[3] Submit your site to various general and webmaster related directories.
[4] Write articles for your site.
etc.......

 

The best way to promote directories is to submit them to various free and paid directories.

 

Depends on what part of promotion side you are after.

If you are after traffic, announce it on Info Vilesilencer list. Most other directory lists use that one to fill their lists.

If you are after search engine traffic, submit to directories and exchange links.

If you are after paid submissions and paid sitewide links, this forum is reported to be a good way to announce your special deals.

 

This is painful, annoying, time consuming, harrassing, gives you headaches, hurts your fingers and your eyes but you got to submit to many web directories. Free or paid, you might start to submit to mine in my sig , nodangers is free for september so enjoy
