I am running a link directory and i want different ways to promote my directory. Can you please help me with this. And also how much you are earning from directories by paid links, i too like to know this.
You can promote it in other web directories, web directory lists, signature links in webmaster forums. You could also promote it in your emails that you may have setup when people submit to yours. I earn over $10,000 per week with my directories, its really easy.
Hello... Actually a new way of promoting your clients links is threw "Twitter" this will have your followers getting hits to your clients sites.. EX: twitter.com/viesearch does this and got a low alexa as well as his sites send "traffic" to those interested in the link details on twitter. PS dont knock it till ya try it.... laterz malcolm
Is twitter not just a fad thing though? everyone jumps on these things dont they, sending non converting traffic and time consuming mostly in vain possibly? I aint got a clue how twitter works but i think these things can rob you of normal, long term marketing method time in your day.
lol twitter is the fastest growing site on the internet and i dismissed it also a few months back and was like this is a joke! then i said what the heck with a new site i was promoting... now i have over 1200 followers in 2 weeks time traffic has surged and clicks have tripled... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN2HAroA12w&fmt=18 You do have to associate with your followers from time to time as nobody wants automated links without a real voice once in a while... (most followers will look at your BIO first anyway and see if they are interested in what you offer) http://gabeoneill.wordpress.com/2009/03/01/top-10-dos-and-donts-my-10-cents/ laterz malcolm
I am doing some testing with Twitter also - 7100 followers and growing - follow me I follow back - tweet tweet! lol Who knows if it will last but it does not hurt to try new things and keep current. It also is not that big of a time commitment each day. Minutes really.
Im already following you... ill send you a private message Its easy takes No time and actually very addicting ... @pipes Non converting traffic? i guess it depends on the niche of site (actually in analytics its got the lowest bounce rate, better then google search #2) thx malcolm
ummmm not unless your Yahoo directory or BOTW but i dont think many here see those type of numbers now... (i could be wrong as i always am) Good luck with twitter but remember a general directory wont do as good as a niche directory with followers from that same niche EX: Health directory with an audience of health related or like minded followers thx malcolm
Il still give it a miss but good luck with it malcolm. gr8webseller, im joking my friend, i make next to nothing with my web directory, never get taken in by wild suggestions like mine above, ignore anything that sounds crazy like that, if i did earn 10K a week id not be on a forum, infact id not be in the country that im currectly in.
