Almost doubling my traiffc stats for my premiere directory. Will always endeavor to increase traffic stats by 100% over previous months till I can reach 1K human visitors every day.
It looks like you disagree with yourself, backlinks = better search engine placement and popularity = more traffic = more money. My three main directories have all seen a rise in traffic this month. I launched my first (and probably only) bidding directory this month, I wanted to offer something unique and dawzz and david were able to help me do that. I am also trying hard to move this Web Directory up the SERPS for the term 'web directory'. I went though my own sites linking this one and changed the anchor text to hopefully help with that. My goal is to get on the second or third page, I am curious to see if there is a traffic difference for this term as I move closer to page one. I have also started writing expanded category descriptions to help get pages out of the supplemental index
Overdrive Web Directory started off slow in the beginning of July, but has picked up quite well with promotions and offers. I hope it continues to rise as I am link building heavily.
july has been good for me, i have worked hard on my directories and got a lot of traffic from serps! also waiting for the PR update, so that my directories can get some nice PR!! Am pretty happy with the progress of my directories, and am looking foreword to make another web directory this month, i will launch it with lots of unique contents!! cheers!
