I laughed my Directory site a few days so I’m getting very few visitors. From what I gather building a good directory can take months if not years. Hopefully I’ll start getting more visitors and submissions soon.
if you want that be active and list your directory in every directory lists you find...also check out this thread: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=82603#post888420 it should help you a lot
Mine's been up since May1st, my first directory ever. Avg'ing about 40 uniques a day- www.dietdirectory.org It's a niche directory so i'm not expecting to much in the beginning
I don't mean to brag but Free Google Directory Gets 1000+ a day unique visiters about 300+ from Yahoo 700+ from msn in refers.
Just checked my AwStat just now and i'm impress, 176 unique visitors yesterday. Persistent is the keyword, one day this hardwork will pay off, meantime, i'm far far away.
You guys are really superb. I never expected you would be getting more than 100 UV/day. What is your source of uv ? Search engines ? btw pretty nice
Getting a few hundred visitors daily can be accomplished rather easily. Make sure your directory is own all those popular directory lists. Emperor, a few posts above, mentioned a thread where I listed some good ones to be on. These lists will get you quite a few visitors and, for those accepting free submissions, potentially 100 or more submissions daily. After that, DP will get you alot visitors. DP has THE directories forum on the internet. I promise you that a thread in the Solicitations & Announcements forum will get you a couple hundred submissions, easy. If you have a paid directory, then also advertise in the Link Sales forum on DP (as well as Solicitations) since everyone visiting that forum is looking to buy links, where in Solicitations most of the visitors are looking for free directories. Another good place to advertise is other directories. Purchase ad spots on other directories. Even better, exchage links with another directory. Maybe the two of you even add to your email notifications that "Hey, don't forget to submit to this other directory." Other places to advertise...anything SEO related. After all, most of the people interested in directories are the SEO/webmaster crowd.
