Below is my own directory.would you like to give me some advice about how to boost it? http://www.entireurl.com/ Thank you in advance
Submit your directory in - http://info.vilesilencer.com/ you will get more number of submissions and popularity.
Yes directory submissions [Manual] is one of the best option. I wil suggest you toadd some quality websites as well in tyour directory. Good luck...
In order to generate traffic you have to market it but I would strongly suggest putting some money into having it uniquely redesigned first. You get what you put into a directory or any business. After a new and unique design work on branding and marketing it.
Hi Titoni 1)You can advertise/submit your site to as many as directory can to increase traffic and business. 2) also make you directory/sub category URL static not dynamic. Good Luck
Only directories that offer link value will benefit submitting to. Unfortunately the list of directories that offer any link value is growing smaller every month.
I would agree with the above posts that some time/money needs to be spent on design. With so many directories out there, you need to try to set yourself apart from the crowd. Also, most directories seem to die after awhile due to lack of effort put forth by the owner (directories require ALOT of work!). Because of this, I wouldn't but a listing in any directory that looks like the owner isn't working hard in maintaining and promoting. Best of luck with your directory.
Good advice guys and I would certainly hope people do more than just submit to me and rely on that to make them good. It's true that Info Vilesilencer will give a directory a running start and a steady stream of ongoing traffic for a long time, it will also help to get that directory recognised, and be well thought of. However, Promotion of one's directory is an ongoing process (much like SEO is an ongoing process). So saying "I've made it onto the Info Vilesilencer list, thats it all my work's done" is going to result in failure. I can only lead the horses to you, I can't make them drink. Success will depend upon design, knowing your market, gauging your traffic and pricing inclusions/advertising accordingly as well as seeking other avenues of generating traffic. You've found 2; Digital Point and Info Vilesilencer. That's a good start, but you will also gain a lot of the same users from both, and so I suggest looking for unrelated markets to tap into new users that haven't been promoted to yet.
That’s strange I’m not listed is Vilesilencer because I only offer free submission three days a week and I have done exceptionally well. In fact I’m listed in very few directory lists and could give a Rats backside about them. Excluding a few Directories lists only a few offer the public the anything but the opportunity to waste their time with directories that offer no link value and all. This is no use to the novice or new webmaster that is looking for links back to there website. Most directories that have little or no content have been delisted by Google and the lists should show this if they were operated by honest and caring webmasters.
I don't currently list WOW, because too many people complained about it not being free when I did. So being the honest and caring webmaster that I am, I removed it for them. I'd be prepared to list it in the paid section, but just like you seek payment for inclusion, so do I I would agree with you on most directory lists, I would totally disagree if you were referring to mine. Purely because I do choose directories that have link value and I spend a lot of time ensuring those that join fit the criteria. A lot of majors will garner little benefit from being on a directory list, its funny that many still yearn to be on them though. In the past I did remove directories that were fully delisted in Google - but only 1 full update afterwards, as I wanted to ensure that it wasn't just a deindexation. I try not to be totally reliant on Google though, there are other engines, and whilst Google still holds the crown, the others are very important, and so is the link power you can generate in them.
It's not strange. If you ask for payment, even just periodically then you are not offering a free service. End of story. Asking for a payment isn't a crime but Dan has the right to be pedantic about this issue. It's called being fair. Biting the hands that feed you, tsk tsk tsk. I haven't visited your directory though having submitted sites before, including my own, I have to say that A LOT of directories deceive their visitors. This doesn't mean that I think yours does, I'm just stating a generally well-known fact about some directories and nothing is more annoying than going through the process of submitting a site to a directory that looks to be free and then being confronted with a page demanding a payment. This practice is commonplace and extremely unfair and this is more of a waste of time than even submitting to a site not containing an SEO friendly link. In principle, I agree with this, though a lot of the blame should be levelled at directory owners, not the list creators. Directory owners like to get their sites on 'free directory' lists and then try to take advantage of their visitors by converting to 'pay for inclusion' and turning off static linking. To expect a list creator to manage these convenient conversions in real time is unreasonable. I'll finish off by giving an un-biased view of directory lists. There is many out there but only one that is worth its salt - http://info.vilesilencer.com/.
i would say you should go full steam for traffic. submit your site to a lot directories and try to improve your traffic stats. also if you could load some skin to your directory it will be helpfull. but again you need to have a steady flow of genuine visitors to your site. my 2 cents. money_train
Many directories offer link value will benefit submitting to. and amount of those directories growing smaller. it think you are talking about your directories that they are not offering any link value, right?
