I got my directories on digg,stumbleupon,many regular directories,directoryrate and directorycritic.Anyone know some other way to get more traffic for free?
Digg and stumble upon will not get you much traffic. The best traffic that I have received for my free directories is by posting at the DP forums If you have a free directory that you should get your directory in the IVS free directory list http://info.vilesilencer.com/forum/ Also, I have started my list as well http://www.kiviniar.com/free-web-directory-list/ Leave me a comment if you free directory list is not included
One of the best resources - http://www.directorykit.com/33-killer-ways-to-increase-your-directory-traffic-for-free/ List of free directories where you can list your free directory - http://info.vilesilencer.com/ http://www.best-web-directories.com/free-directories.htm http://web-directories.ws/General/Free/ http://www.seocompany.ca/directory/free-directories.html http://www.directorylist.org/free-directories/ http://www.addurl.nu/ Free Web Directories List
Free traffic is on every corner it comes when you promote your directory round the clock 365/24/7 It's amazing what returns on traffic you can generate by working hard Traffic is not 'an armchair ride' where you sit back and relax and traffic knocks on your door It ain't like that
Yes I did everything you said.I submitted my directory to about 500 directories,listed my directories in forums,commented in blogs,validated one of them,asked others to review my directories in stumbleupon,did everything... but I'm still getting visitors not more than 150/day.Where do you guys get the most traffic to your website from?
I am guessing it is one of the sites in your sig?, anyway think of your site as a top rating movie or book etc. Don't focus on the visitors as much but focus on what they see when they get there. Those 150 a day will spread the word if they like what they see ( using word of mouth so to speak in the www ), as it stands those 150 are probably not seeing anything special and would all be gone within 30 seconds. Put some sweet honey on your site, then see how many flies you attract. good luck with them.
Build links from quality directories that get traffic themselves, upgrade your directory to a version that allows you to add article content, add a blog, generate unique content and post it on your directory via articles and blog postings, social bookmark your unique articles, participate in forums, build more links, do press releases, write articles and submit them to article directories, get a unique design with additional features to offer your visitors... When you get done with that pm me and I can give you some more. There is no do this one thing type of magic bullet - you need to have a quality site with quality content and quality features that people want to visit. Build it and they will come.
I think it is very hard for an average general directory to get much 'free' traffic these days, just too much competition. You have to spend money to get quality traffic either a little bit of money building/buying links or a lot of money buying adwords/banners/ads. Stumble and Digg traffic is almost useless for a general directory, you won't make any money off it.
well I'm using adbrite in drectory.net that's why I need traffic on that website.I'm not using any advertising solutions on panc.biz I'm thinking of it as a premium directory.But google still didn'T update it's pagerank.Don'T know why.Thank you for your suggestions.I gave you guys reputation for your concerne.Thanks again.
