    Hi,

    I am getting a good amount on both of my directories at the moment, but what methods would you recommend to increase these?

    Thanks.

    When you say a good amount, do you mean income or traffic or submissions or something else?

    Or that your already using a good amount of advertising methods?

    Sorry, I explained that horribly. :p

    I meant that I'm getting a good amount of traffic and submissions, income isn't that good though.

    Are they free directories or paid?

    Free directories will often get loads of traffic. People will rarely pay when they can get in there for free.

    I agree with most ppls here that ads are not going to make the OP rich on a directory!
    But, has anybody had much luck converting their free directory over to paid?

    when converting from free to paid, things are a bit different and promotion means are the most important part. You should think about it before you turn paid.

    Personnally I had luck ;)

    I kept my directory free for a year before going paid. There was a small period in between where I was hardly getting any submissions, but sure enough they started coming through consistently.

    Perhaps stop the current promotion you are using and try a few new ones.
