I listed my directory in directorycritic since Jan 2007, since then I could get some traffic from this site every day. But since May of this year, I never saw traffic from directorycritic any more. What's going on with this site? Did you get good traffic if you buy their banner ads?
125x125 Banner ads only provide at most ten direct clicks per day (5 average) which is not good enough for paying $65. And it's hard to justify with a free directory, but hey I am willing to invest in my DirectoryScoop. Their alexa rank is still good, but that can be manipulated, so it's not always the best indicator. The site is not updated very often, the webmaster is difficult to get in contact with. They operate other directory related ventures, so less time is spent on the critic. You would probably get traffic if you are on the top of the free directory list
Most people visiting DC are looking for new directories. Since you joined in 2007, I think it is normal that the traffic is now dropping. Try other Directory Lists: http://www.directorysnob.com http://www.websitepromotion4you.com http://www.directoryrate.com http://www.directoryplanet.net http://www.web-directories.ws
VMOptions also has cheap advertising and major traffic. Their small banners are like $20 a month. Might want to check them out as well.
I tried directoryrate, no traffic from it also. Tried its banner ads, only 4 visitors from this site per month. I do get some traffic from web-directories.ws.
last year i was one of directorycritic advertisers, the site gave me a few clicks each day, and finally i gave up since the directory is the source of spam coz they don't review any submission at all.
Check out my directory list and add yourself there. There is no cost and you'll show up on the High PR list which is heavily used. You'll probably be on the best value list too.
i used to love my investment in DC but not anymore. The owner sells way too many ads and doesnt moderate the website good enough anymore
I get some ok traffic from DC, but the "submitters" are not particularly bright as its a niche directory and 99% of submissions are deleted as they not remotely close!!
Then of course there's the directory list that started all the meager copies: http://info.vilesilencer.com.
info vilesilencer is not a good directory list. You have to post in their forums and maybe some days later they will delete your directory then. www.addurl.nu is one of the best, I think.
Excuse me? That's not true at all. You don't post it at the forum, you submit it to the website. If you want to announce it on the forum, we don't delete those posts. So your comment about that is incorrect also. If you can't get included on the actual website list it is because we do not list link farms masquerading as directories. In future, conduct research before opening your mouth. It'll prevent you making a fool of yourself.
Apologize for the mistake, you have to register to submit your directory. But I do forget this directory list for years since it can't bring traffic to my directory, and for no reason, my directory was removed from their list. Sorry, don't blame me for forgetting your directory list.
