Best of The Web Traffic

Discussion in 'Directories' started by JeremyL, Oct 23, 2006.

    So lately there has been a rash of articles discussing only submitting to the most trusted directories on the web. One that I keep hearing come up that I have never personally used is Best of the Web (BOTW). I've always avoided paying for any directory other then the big boys (Yahoo, Business.com, bCenntral, Dmoz shhh).

    For those of you that have sites in BOTW, non SEO / Webmaster / Tech sites, what type of traffic if any do you get from your listing. I am dismissing tech type traffic since that will probably skew results compared to non tech sites. I'm not worried about the link juice. I want to hear actual visitor numbers.

    Thanks

    Less than 10 visitors per year - so basically nothing.

    Thanks for the info guys. That ends up being a large $ per click. I guess it's mainly about the juice and not the traffic.

    I get about 2 or 3 visits a week, not bad I guess. I only really did it for the backlinks, the link juice is only a small help.
