How to promote directory site?

quality back links are needed.

 

Start a forum promotion! For start to get direct traffic. To have bit of advertise, if you don't want to spent money!

 

Promoting a directory is just the same as promoting a site. Then SEO will help you. It helps your directory generate more traffic through natural or organic search results.

 

I agree with you....

 

0. Announce your new directory in forums that have a subforum like "directory announcements", "your directory", etc.
1. submit to other directories, all general directories have a generous Web Directory category with many subcategories.
2. submit to websites that publish list of directories : you can find them by searching google for "list of free directories" or something similar.

Added your directory to forums for more traffic and exposure and also include it to other directory lists which people always in search for.

SEO helps! Just make sure to do both On-Page and Off-Page Optimization. On-Page (title tags, meta tags, alt tags, description, keywords, and h1/h2 tags) first then next is Off-Page Optimization (press release, online groups, forum posting, article and directory submissions, classified ads, etc).

 

This forum is a good place to start once you have it up and running.
Be creative and add content that is usefull information to the related industry.

 

submit it to good PR directories.
