Speaking of wich, from the web directories(paid/free) you submit, wich ones are your top 3 referrer. Please post in here only the top 3 referrer web directories please. This would be interesting to see...
I don't want to be mean, but do 10 visitors/month traffic count? Because that's the most I get, and it's from aviva
Highest I get is from Aviva's download blog and themes section. 10 hits or 15 hits from other directories isn't called traffic. :-|
theoretically, you should receive the most traffic from bidding web directories... have you tried that ?
The only hits I received on our business' site (top sig. link) are from my own personal directory, http://directory.stellararticles.co.uk - as I have it as a 'sponsored directory' - that's the only directory I have actually found any reference to incoming traffic from any other directory, which means I get no traffic at all from other directories, or it's so little that my traffic stats don't even log the 1 or 2 hits I could possibly get. How many hits does my directory send to the other site I'm controlling - average 14 hits per day for this month. Highest - 28, lowest - 2. The good thing is I've not really marketed that directory yet
I receive 10/20 visits from different web directories, I believe it is a good amount, basically, if a directory is able to send 10 to 20 visits per month, and able to send that traffic to a good amount of listings then I would consider it, a high traffic directory. I think you need to consider, that even though it may sound quite low, if you think how many outgoing hits it is able to deliver to the whole, I would say it is impressive, for example 10 hits per month for each listing, and having a collection of lets say 1000 listings is a very good achivement, however we must take that all directories are not as "famous" as others. Meti
The sites i've had traffic from recently are mine, perhaps because of the link place ment 1,http://www.terranlink.com 5-10 uniques per day to my othersites per day 2 http://www.cheap-list.com 2 - 3 uniques per day to my othersites per day 3 http://www.terranlin.co.uk 1 -2 uniques per day to my othersites per day
Zorg is the one I find rocking atm. Mike has done a wonderful job! I guess those on the homepage should say it better than me though.

Well for www.h-log.com i see i get most hits from directory related site : http://www.mydirectoryrank.webdirectoryreviews.com/ , as you can see from analytic stats , feel free to indulge yourself , at http://www.h-log.com/aboutus/ login info for analytic account provided there. Than there is seocompany too where traffic comes from. Cheers
For the 10000000000000000 time Directorys are for BACKLINKS Traffic may come but from niche or really huge dirs but not much as you can see
Such a short-sighted view. The better directories can give both. For a few minutes of my time, I will gladly enjoy 10-15 hits per month for the life of my site and the directory. As someone else has said those hits across a number of sites can add up. I don't really understand the point of your comment. Looking at my stats, the bulk of the traffic to my directory from other directories are coming from directories of directories. But, I know from my site's stats that I am providing traffic to the sites listed on my older directory. No, it's not 100s or even 1000s of visitors a month; but it is highly targeted and more likely to convert.
1. Agree that However you should notice people here are talking about traffic for directories, not for other kind of website. So in such case other directories can be useful. 2. Do not agree that Some national directories can be a great source of traffic. One of my websites receives about 300 hits daily form 5 private directories. Not so bad I think. Of course none of general worldwide directories can send me even 10 hits.
I don't get diddly squat from directories, and since it looks like google doesn't pass any pr from most of them anymore, the only real advantage is for getting indexed and/or mixing up my link profile from buying high-authority links
It is ok to have a view, and to be strong about it but for things to change others must step outside the commonly held view and in that i do believe there are a new breed of directory owner emerging who will set about changing the view as above and it will take some time for that to happen. but given a fair crack of the whip will prevail, out of interest and being realistic, with a big wide www, then a directory full of listing before they even find your site what would you say would be a number of visits that would qualify to say a directory does send traffic ? just thinking out loud a mail drop is considered good with a 2 - 3 ^ conversion with one product ( not 1000 other listings ) i would expect the number to be small per directory. If i was to get 1 solid lead from a directory a week for a good product to me that would be worth while, over time i could value add or upsell that customer depending on product and also extend my links to second directory and so on then over time build quite a large sales portfolio. It seems many people people want to live fast and want instant mega results that can only be built over a period of time probably all wrong again but just a view.
