I need a simple solution

Hello everyone,
I've got a directory www.linkshall.com
I think the domain is good the design is good.
IF You also say "YES".
Then why i'vent sold any featured links?
i get round about 20-30 free submission but i'vent recieved any featured links payment.

Why is that so?
Any special reason for it?
What is the solution?

Thanks

 

You need to have pr .... and anounce it here i didn't see it anounced .
Good luck

 

Considering that you are just starting out, most new links are gonna be near the top of the category page anyway so there's no real reason for people to pay. $2 for a sponsored link is too cheap anyway... you get what you pay for and for $2 you don't get much.

Needs PR and traffic ranking.

 

I used to use that layout.

I think you just have to give it time. My free directory (Infinity Web Directory) has been up for about 3 weeks, and I've only sold 8 featured links I think?

PR update is in January I believe, so you have to wait for that. Just keep submitting to dirs, add some mods to your page, and the featured links will come.

I'm a noob also, but from my understanding, most people don't see steady money for a while (6 months around).

 

How do you know when the PR update will be?

 

I just tried to check out the directory and possibly submit a few featured listings, but I can't seem to get the page to load? It just hangs...

 

Yep does not load for me either, that could be part of the problem.

 

I believe Google is updating PR every 3 months now, and there's currently a PR update that started a couple weeks ago.

 

the alexa ranking for the site was 1,060,856 and now its 722,416.

And what is the problem? Can you clear it for me? How to remove it?

I'm a newbie into these things and also a small kid so i would appreciate your help.
Thanks alot

 

722k alexa is very bad... indicates very poor traffic... plus you don't have any pagerank for your domain.

Unless you've PR & GOOD Alexa (under 100k) I doubt you will be able to sell links...

 

the directory is up only a month ago,
but the most important thing is i'm new i donno how to make the pr.
Anyone please gimme some suggestions

 

Try to purchase signature links here at DP, signature links in other forums, text links on PR 5+ websites...

 

oh yeah i forgot to tell my budget is also low

 

what is your budget... you can get PR3 links for $5/month

PM me if you want more details...

 

just my 2 cents... but I think Adsense is kind of silly on directories as most of the people submittings are webmasters and are savvy those types of ads already.


and to remove any shadow of doubt to what has already been said... I won't buy a featured link from a directory that doesn't have PR. If the site hasn't been around long enough to gain indexed links and have google acknowledge it, then how do I know that it will be around long enough to get my moneys worth?

just my opinon

 

I buy featured only on directories i know that will be promoted. And also featured that costs only 2$ > 8$ let a webmaster septic about the quality of a directory, i don't know if we have to pay yearly on your directory but normally a featured costs way more than that, its 15$ minimum.

Time is the key for any successful business even on the web... Wait you are a PR4 and you shall sell some featured.
