    Do you ever get hits from directories your site is listed in. I've been scouring my statistics the last couple months (for several reasons) and I never get hits from these directories. What about you? Any hits? Even a small amount? Sheesh, even one hit? And if so, which directory?

    photolinks.com seems to generate a small amount of traffic for me. It's a very targetted directory though so I'm not sure if it will be of much use to you.

    I am giving the sites listed in my directory far more hits than other directories are giving me on all of my sites put together. I suspect it is the nature of a niche directory vs a general.

    That said, the SEO and keyword boost is worth more than the hits to me.

    I would have to say it depends on which directories your listed in. For example I know some big ones get x,xxx traffic/day. I track outclicks on my directory and they are in the high xxx range almost everyday.

    On low populated paid directories you get some hits, on free directories nobody goes pass page 2 unless you have a featured link just forget about it.

    I consistently get 1 hit every so often from Kingbloom, at regular intervals, to a couple of sites. It's their bot checking that all the sites are live.

    I think you'll get some hits when listed on niche/local directories.
    Especially in good niche/local directories with high traffic and loyal visitor.

    But for general directories, well the primary purpose of this kind directories it to boost your PR, so eventually you'll get more traffic from search engine. I don't expect to get direct traffic from the directories it self, since their traffic mostly is people who want to submit their sites to the directory :)
