We ran a similar thread in March, April, May, June, July, August and September Each thread brought in lots of news about directories How is the Directory Market shaping up this month Whats new this month ? Whats Exciting whats New So post here with something positive Thats new in October ! Thanks (By the way we know all about the Forplex Hosting problem there was nothing exciting about that)
Well for me it has already been a busy month, I just launched my new Directory of Directories Portal last week and my newest portal for my fellow Canadians is under contruction right now. I hope to launch one more portal before the month is done. Here are my others in case you are interested: Online Music Search Portal Family Health Directory Portal Financial Information Portal I will also be busy writing unique descriptions for all my new categories and doing some SEO and link building.
I think after seen some movement in PR for some dirs i am looking for the full Pr update. Along with it i am dealing to get written more articles to be posted in info sections.
PR updated on a few sites like BWL, KG, SS, IDk etc Directories for sale seems to be the hot thing to do this month. People are quiting after they realise they could get some nice $xxxxx in their paypal. Just check sitepoint, i counted 4 for sale today
It seems that most months lately there is usually 3 or 4 for sale on sitepoint these days Which is not a lot given the thousands of directories that are on-line now
Well i do nto know if it's exiting ( to others ) but to me it is, today my B bravo version of my directory rolled of the production line, ( 12 months to get this far, with planning, re arranging my lifes activites etc to place all of my focus on this task ) it still needs a lot of work before it goes out onto the track for some testing but i hope that is in a few weeks. For something positive, just a quiet thankyou to everyone that has helped me so far with my silly questions, my respect for the many talented people here and their knowledge only humbles me and i hope that i can continue to learn from them. Also even though we have seen some turbulant times ( just lucky enough to cop this when i joined ), i now see many people moving in positive ways and the end result has to be a win for the business as a whole. We hope to join the masses soon but in that i also hope to bring my old school ways and thinking to a modern meduim and look for a happy marrige, so in that i am not scared to push the boundries of what my ideas are,and i suppose i will hit some good and some bad idea's as we move forward but i will stay true to my plans and goals. Lastly as i suppose many have had said to them i have had the same in regards, don't bother with directories, a waste of time and every other accolade that could be thrown, but like many true owners here i refused to listen and now more than ever see nothing but a positive future moving forward for those wiling to walk the extra yards.
Ooooh lots been happening this month and lots more to come, mostly things in development stages but we finally have some templates ready which will be launched in the next week or so.... released a couple of free mod packages for the Social Bookmarks mod which allow you to add additional services (if your using the mod that is).... I have almost completed a new series of paid mods that are currently in testing and hope to have them available before the end of the month... busy busy busy... Oh, and this directory owner is taking a holiday soon, Brazil Grand Prix here I come!
We have new directory that we are launching Tuesday Oct 16 2007 Its not conventional, its a directory for real time events where images and videos are uploaded of current events We are steadily building up a library of content and we have a batch of images already in the database, but we are waiting for our launch before we approve the waiting content Take a look http://www.cityjournalistdirectory.com/ We have been inundated with positive interest
Well in the last couple of weeks had some new mods installed to www.eBusiness-Directory.com recent searchs , tag clouds, deep link and a custom mod for link and banner sales. Also had a new banner done for the site which looks well but thats there a few weeks old now. Bought www.AdvertisingDirectory.EU on sitepoint , this is in the process of being "Pimped" by a blackbelt indexu coder so it should be ready for re-launch soon. October has been a good month so far for eBusiness Directory ranking well for lots of good terms.
Nice work as always pete Ive been trying to get silky to get that updated on ours this week so that we can finish with the directory add ons (mods) Video - pic/image - RSS on all directories and get biz-giant ready for business Just takes time when you have several Im hoping to get our server up very soon so as to start the video submissions and uploads as that heavy on the resources BUT is a very powerful tool in marketing and branding any website. thx malcolm
Jim Westergren is getting out of SEO and directory submission to pursue his writing career. http://www.jimwestergren.com/an-update-what-helped-my-success-and-what-happened-then/
Good luck to him too, Jim seems always to work extremely hard, so I trust some of that hard work will pay dividends in his new writing career
Yeah, I'm kinda hoping he writes some more SF. But he mentioned something about writing in Swedish, so unless he gets it translated I won't be able to read it. Boo.
There's a thread on this on one of the other forums WTF I believe. Some people are reporting movement, me I'm not so sure but will stand and watch.
