DirectoryCritic Advertising Stats for 1 Month

    I have seen quite a few post about the advertising on DirectoryCritic.com, so I thought I would share some stats I put together in my first month of advertising. It only covers the 125x125 ads, but still gives you a good idea.

    I never tracked conversions but got similar hits to you.

    Actually I tracked my conversions using my own affiliates program, but you could do it with analytics easy.

    Yeah I contribute clicks to splitting them 14 ways. That may be the only downfall to it.

    I would be interested to see some 468x60 stats for the middle of the page.

    Well if you got conversion for your link then i guess i agree that it would work wonders with more establised directories..

    Nice factual review and will blog about it

    How exactly would you do that? I saw that "conversions" option, but have no idea how exactly to use it.

    Thanks, Marko

    If you have adwords setup look under conversion tracking. They have a step by step video. I have yet to try it on a directory, but I might do it just so I can inform people.
