I m just about to finish my first directory site. I need to know how I increase its PR first and get traffic to my directory?. I know several ways like submitting to other directories, forum signatures. But Is there any other way?. Does Directory have sitemap?? How do I indexed it to google? Do I need to do that? Do I need backlinks? How long it takes to get PR3 or 4 atleast and how much time do I need? Please kindly suggest Thanks you very much
Regarding other ways of increasing PR, i guess you could sponsor templates and things like that. I use a sitemap on one of my directories. Getting listed in other directories, and having it in your sig here can help get it indexed. Yes you definately need backlinks. Im not sure how long it would take to gain the PR to be honest.
