http://www.onlinebusinessdir.com/ is a free directory with name Online Business Directory one day i got nearly 90 unique visitors but only 10 submissions does the name Business Directory prevents visitors from submissions. It offers free listing options and is SEO coz it uses phpLD. but my other directories http://www.centraldirectory.net and http://www.imobilecentral.be are getting brisk submissions.
Yes. It implies that this is a niche directory. The category names also give that impression. Even though business is quite a large niche area, you will still get considerably fewer submissions than something that looks like a general directory.
name does affect sometimes but I suggest that you continue advertising the site and putting a summary whether it is a niche or not, free, paid or both. good luck
A niche directory shouldn't let non-niched sites to be added OR it will turn into a general directory and thus lose its true value...
but i don't find relevant submissions but the directory is free for all. i think almost all websites are someway related to business.
Government, charity, personal, political, educational, blogs, fan sites ... There are loads of sites out there that are not business-related in any way. Most sites that are submitted by SEOs will be business-related, since it's mostly businesses who can afford to pay for this sort of service. But those sites don't actually account for the majority of the web.
yes most people think that it is a niche related directory as the name suggests. although business is a vast field you have to promote more and open for free submissions . all the best
the directory is receiving some brisk submissions and i think the directory deserves more featured links i am earning very few from adsense about $0.6/day
