Guys I am a directory owner and you better know that the directories should be of high traffic. i wanna know how you guys are driving traffic to your directory and how much traffic should be good for a directory. I am getting near 100 uniques per day. I m doing my best to drive traffic like stumbling etc but it is temporary and what about topsites do the help??? i need suggestions... PS: my directory is http://su8.org Thanks.
i dont think topsites help a lot, directory critic brings in some traffic , i tried adwords a month & did get a surge in traffic then. I guess buying banners on high traffic places / links , featured links , signatures, avatars, etc is the way to go , gotta spend some green.
Get your directory listed in popular directory lists, if it is a good free directory with some PR and is Search Engine Friendly, get it listed on www.addurl.nu and other similar lists. It will get you regular traffic.
as your site is a free directory, www.addurl.nu and www.directorycritic.com are great places to get over 100 visits a day. DP is another place. Then if you are willing to pay, bidding directories are useful, as they provide targetted traffic, but it can cost you a lot.
submit your site as featured to as many directories as possible BID the top bids on bidding directories Buy forum signatures and avatars... Buy banner/text ads on webmaster forums/blogs/sites..
Go around manually adding links to websites you like to make your directory look active. After that, head on over to the marketplace here and buy some adwords vouchers and get started!
how to drive traffic one way is unique content ... offer unique services tht people would want to come to your site two - for a free directory 100 uniques a day is very low !!! three - when comes to advertisement .. i will only say is just do ur best .... list urself in top quality directories as they will submit to yours also. Buy text links / banners
rosie can you please list my directory in addurl.nu okay i will buy some adwords vouchers any other suggestion guys?
you may want to add your directory to my www.TopDirectoryList.INFO definitely more traffic and value than google adword.
