hi, if i submit my blog to around 1000 web directories, how much traffic can i get average & also PR? Thanks
Impossible to say, for example you might use the same title in those thousand submissions. Depends on the pr, page being indexed, traffic for search engines? difficult to say. Whats your competition like? how long are they established compared to you? will these all be free directories? using a directory submission service or doing it yourself? will some of the directories lose their pr before it could even benefit you? Theres so much that could influence it, these are questions asked weekly here and i dont know why people think any of them could be answered here
You won't get a lot of traffic from most directories. There are some niche directories that give traffic, but most general directories don't. You can get to a PR3 with free directory submissions alone. It usually takes some other external links to get to PR4 and above.
Depends on the directories you submit to and how/what you submit. There are way to many variables to be able to answer your general question with any kind of accuracy. When you say submit to around a 1000 directories it screams to me that your going to submit to 1000 free directories. If that is the case then expect results one usually gets for free..... Submit to quality directories with good content, standards, reputation and rankings. They are the ones that will still be around next year. And quit worrying about pr - which would you rather have a high page rank or well over 1000 uv per day? I will take the traffic.
Use different titles and descriptions. More different anchors would be effective. Directories wont provide direct traffic, but will surely increase link popularity and search engine rankings. 1000's of submissions with same anchor can be dangerous.
Direct traffic close to 0 if you submit to free directories. PR1-2-3. Your organic traffic will increase though, that's the whole point of submitting.
