Hello all, i have read many threads here...to increase traffic many people suggest to Submit to directories. I'm still confuse, how directories bring many traffic to my site?? 1. my sites listed in directories and indexed search engine then traffic come from search engine. or 2. traffic come from directories directly Could anyone to explain about this?? Thanks a lot.
I would say #1 for most directories. Your directory listing gets indexed by search engines, and traffic comes from search engines thru that.
For example, when i submit to paid directories and i awnna submit to some new paid directories, i look in that directories paid directory list. Make sense?
Very little traffic comes directly from the directories themselves, in my experience. The main reason for listing on the directories is for backlinks.
I suspect it depends a bit on the directory. Niche ones seem to bring in a bit of traffic. Otherwise, the main goal is ranking for the text of the title and PR.
Article directories are more effective for getting traffic. Submit your article in the niche article directories and you should get good traffic PLUS 3 incomming links per article as well. Sounds good?
usually you submit for the SEs, but big directories bring some traffic, specially if your listing is featured
you will be disappointed if you are excepting more traffic from directories directly. to be listed in directories, you'll get more back links and your PR will be up... I think that's it.
directory submission is one way to get the traffic from search engines by improving the listing. directories itselt give almost 0 traffic . but only directory submission wll neve give to traffic from search engines. yu have to adop many different techniques to list your site in search engine`s top listings. say if ur site is on 10 page of a google. what you think hw many pplz go to page 10 and go to ur site; directory usualy give you backlink and a shared PR. remember not all Directories give you backlink. only worthy directories are included in backlinks. now who wil tell which is worthy directory .. answer is known to GOOGLE only.
ussually paid directories bring traffic, and if you submit to enough directories you should get decent traffic. So far I have submitted to 400 directory, and I get around 100 visit from that.
It also depends on the serp position of the site your submitting to/ Because usually when you submit to a high serp directory of any sort.. the index is very high 1 2 3 Page in the search engine. (This will definately get you traffic)
i think and in my point of view that most traffic come to site throw search engines .. and direcotries traffic is low but its for your site backlinks means for increase your PR what you say all ?
submit to directories is a way to get one-way links to your site, search engine will find your links through directory and then you get indexed.
10 years ago, directories did provide significant traffic. Today not so much. A good directory should provide at least some direct traffic to sites listed.
