Do you think submit your link to all directories will give you much traffic?

Hi, i want to know if you submitted your website URL to all free and some non-free directories is worth your time or not? I have already submitted my URL to hundreds directories(most of them still waiting for approval), but do you think it's worth your time? If not, then what do you think the most good way of marketing? link exchange or what? or adwords?

 

They don't bring lots of traffic (depends on which directories of course, if you're talking about photoshop tutorial directories, then YES). However, for most, it's mainly for building backlinks for a higher PR.

 

Directory submissions will help you. Well it might not give loads of traffic as 8everything suggested.

But for a guy like me who is sitting idle what else is there to be done

Just go on making links and you will get some exposure and yes forgot that you will also get good PR

 

most traffic will come becuase you gain a better ranking for your keywords in the search engines, some directories which have clean details pages will also get traffic from search engine results which will get your site some visitors
im sure their is a problem with some directories tracking also i get alot more traffic than the details pages say

 

Directories are a great way to get indexed on a brand new site,

Yea - Thats about it

 

So you think I should submit my URL to all directories then when I already got PR, it will be more easy to get traffic eh? Then otherwise than SE position result, what else do you think can give you traffics?

 

Could someone point me to well-known trusted directory submission service. I know there are a lot of 1000+ submit sites, but if there is some service that you always use and can provide some recommendations? Please, response here or PR me. I have a new site to try the service, so I will test the performance of this submission today in a Google-oriented world.

 

Nope... probably won't bring you much traffic, but they will help in getting some links & visitors now and then.

Check out this thread for some free ideas that might get you some traffic.

 

Directory submission works in respect of back link building not for traffic.

thank you

 

mm.. somewhat

 

Directories may not bring much traffic but the reasons for submitting to them has been backlinks. They tend to be indexed by SEs and you will have the benefit of gaining in the SERPs if you have a link there. Nevertheless, some directories have high traffic and where visitors can search through, you can make some gain in terms of uniques.

 

They bring virtually no traffic, but submitting is almost ritual when i make a new site for the backlink and serp benefits they bring. I always use Kulwinder's service.

 

actually submitting your website to directories is good, but it will not increase your PR.

Submitting your site to directories let the search engines know your site is exist on the web.

What you need to do is keep submitting your site to as much directories as possible and at the same time do this:

1. request for links exchange from webmaster that have high PR link

2. bookmark your site at social bookmarking sites

3. participate on some traffic exchange program like, trafficpods and TS25

4. drive traffic to your site by placing a signature on the forum and make more useful post.

5. if you can write articles, then you should consider writing some articles related to your site contents and submit to all articles directory.

with this few steps, you site will surely get a higher PR and increase to your site too.

Just some info from me.

 

Mainly backlinks, but also a little traffic if your site sounds lke it might be of intrest

 

Agree with you SKE11. Directories provide backlinks to your site.

 

Just you wasting your time.

 

I think you have misconception although if traffic is not been generated from them but aleast PR can be maintained if the link gets approved

 

directory basically just help on generating backlink but not traffic. if you looking for traffic, craigslist or article directory is much better

 

I would recommend free classified ads. 1. you submit your link in contecstual environment. 2. they offen have tags words - they attract visitors which can become your clients. Also there are free advertizing forums.

 

Very, very little traffic. Even Yahoo's directory brings next to no traffic (but then again, so does their search engine).

Directories are better for backlinks and getting indexed, not for traffic.
