Hi, Wanted to talk about my future plans for my Directory http://www.Excellentguide.com Current we have been doing some heavy optimization for this directory. Our goal is simple, optimize each category of our website to deliver targetted traffic for that catogory of excellentguide.com. THis is time consuming and cost lots of money and resources. We want to Deliver a lot of traffic to those who submit to our directory. Most people who submit to directories worry about pr only, Which is only good for a backlink. But Excellentguide want to go further. We want to get you a good backlink plus deliver traffic to your website. Most directories optimize for general traffic, which never gets to your webpage after you submit. Currently we are charging 9 bucks for a permant link. But in the future, once our traffic is risen for all categories on the site. We will post daily traffic stats for all categories. Things will be successful for excellentguide.com, so once things get start, it will be a good idea to purchase a link today, and don't follow the bandwagon or wait to price goes up. Targetted traffic brings sales.
I doubt a directory can bring much traffic. But even if brings few traffic per-day, $9 is worth it, I would pay $9. But not more. It's worth it for people with fairly expensive keywords
I haven't seen a directory that delivers high traffic, so you would be a pioneer in that sense if you can achieve it. $9 is more than worth it if there is actually some value in listing in the directory.
