As many members on DP own a directory and many will have even more than 2, i wanted to ask about what is your directory url, its PR and how many links have been submitted to them. I am asking this, as i have plans to start 10 new directories and i have some doubts which i guess some members can help to remove. 1. How will the promotion of these directories be done ? How to create a wave about a newly launched directory and how to make it popular among people ? Posting on forums is a good idea, but i am not sure how much it can help. 2. How many submissions are usually made to directories. 3. The domains for which i will start directories are having a PR 3 + on their main pages, but no PR on internal pages. I guess this is normal with most directories ? P.S. The directories i will launch will be completely free. Also, this thread can be used to showcase your own directories with their PR / Backlinks / Total Links and Indexed pages. Thanks Gurpreet
You'd be surprised how many people actually submit from the ' Solicitations & Announcements' forum, from then you need to try to get added on tons of directory lists etc. My PR0 directory; Total links: 2599 Pending links: 1140 Today links: 12 Usually around 50+ links submitted a day If your keeping the directory free i wouldn't worry about PR..
Page Rank is from G it rates sites from PR0 thru PR9 and even PR10 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank Link gives brief description
this is really amazing that you got 2200 submissions to your Pr 0 directory, i was not sure about the effect of posting in the directory announcements on DP
Oh well i havent posted in that section for my free directory in some time, but you do get quite alot of submissions if you were to post there, but then you need to get continuous submissions
getting regular submissions is the goal, having a quick response for first few days is good, but for running a website based on directory, continuous submissions is the basic requirement.
I've a PR3 free web directory Active Links:11559 Categories:425 Pending links:1284 Today links: 18 Usually I get 80 submissions per day.
The figures are just amazing, manually checking so many submissions is quite a task. I hope it makes money worth the effort you guys make to promote and to maintain these directories unless you outsource. What are the urls, if you feel like sharing them.
Thanks for the information and encouraging stories. I will soon launch some new directories which will be completely free to add links. hope that they will get good submissions
