    As many of you have links within the Authority Directory I thought it important to keep you informed of a couple changes.

    I constantly look to improve the site as a resource, so we have listened to requests and added new features.

    New to the directory are
    Deep Links
    Site of the Day - Your site can be listed on the front page.
    Affiliate Mod - link in footer

    and a couple more - not so noticable.

    Anyone who already has a featured link, I will add the deep links for you. If you PM me the url and link text for each deep link. If you send the pm, just give me a couple days to add them.

    A couple things worth noting.
    Traffic averages 600 unique visitors per day
    comes up between 23 and 25 in G for the term web directory
    Back link counts I get when I sign into webmaster tools on G are 17777, but it has not updated in a while and Yahoo is much higher.
    My Yahoo site explorer account moves between 65k and 75k backlinks trending upward.
    iwebtool predicts 6 on the next update, but we know that these are not completely accurate.
    There are almost no empty categories - having no empty categories is a priority now and any empty ones will be filled shortly.
    We are adding content daily.
    I went through link rankings on several sites the other day and noticed in most cases the link from the directory comes up right on the first page with the site itself. In many cases the number two position like this one. The search terms I used were the domains, for example authoritydirectory.com or xxxxxx.com.

    I am still looking into adding additional features.

    That's good traffic,

    but when i do a quantcast

    http://www.quantcast.com/authoritydirectory.com

    it shows less, they say it's an estimate LOL,

    I guess sign up for the quantified and it'll show ur true 600 x 30, 18,000 unique visitors p/month.

    We only got bout 1/4 rd of those, but still keeping us chugging along.

    I am hosted through godaddy and use traffic facts for the statistics. For the last month it shows just over 14k in unique visitors, but the traffic is increasing and over the last week it is averaging 600 unique per day.

    It has been trending up since we started the site and with continued promotion I expect the traffic to continue to increase.

    Thanks!

    Well good for u,

    Then you can definitely increase ur income cause quantcast is an open internet rating system.

    Available to anybody which wants to view what your actual traffic stats are.

    Sort of like a confidence booster.

    http://www.quantcast.com/authoritydirectory.com

    I've got it installed on my linkspub homepage & submit page.

    Thanks adnan for the tip on quantcast. I had not heard of it before.

    Before you signed up for the quantified how accurate were the numbers it gave you. As the numbers there do not look accurate. It looks like they indicate only US traffic and right on the page they state.

    "We have sparse data about authoritydirectory.com, so these are rough estimates."

    My traffic shows over 3475 from US traffic this last week alone and quantcast indicates less than 2000 for the month.

    I think I will stick with traffic facts numbers as it is linked right into the site.
