What is the amount of normal traffic per day for a (your?) directory? I am getting around 200 uniques this month per day for my directory. Is that normal or a very small amount for a directory?
For a free directory I think is normal, I get +- 130 daily for a paid only directory but I have a lower alexa value than your directory probably because I only get real people, and you are getting auto submitters.
That's normal for a pr0 or new directory. If you accept free submission without reciprocal links, you will get more visitors in future. BTW, what's the url for your directory?
What do you mean by auto submitters? I own a PR4 paid directory, reciprocal is free. Link is in my signature.
I meant script’s or automated submission services, on stats some of then count like visitors but don’t count to alexa. Even scrapers count I have almost all of them blocked and I received around 30 visits a day from this scripts.
I get around 60-70 a day for directorydump.com.(not indexed yet(sandboxed), not open yet either) I wonder how much more I will get once I re-skin it and make it live ohhh i hope good times are ahead
What kind of traffic are you getting, from links you have from signatures, from word of mouth? I think the not index couldn’t be called sandbox, sandbox is only related to SERP, it’s probably other problem.
its word of mouth because i see direct visits (24.11%) as well as visits from phpld(13.39%) and dp(27.68%) and other(25.00%) sites. todays stats(from analytics) are: Average: 2.62 P/V Visits: 112 Pageviews: 293 71.43% - new 28.57% - returning As far as the problem with indexing, I have tried just about everything I could think of. I know for a fact it's not the script. I've sent out a few emails to gaygle the first week of this month, but have yet to hear a response. I'm very patient, so i can wait. In the meantime, I'm just upgrading my directory with pure goodness.
You have 25 cached pages on yahoo and 341 on MSN and not even the homepage on google, very strange. Why not try this get a listing at yahoo directory, when I did this it improved dramaticly my yahoo cached pages could help for google also, get am dedicated IP and build deep strong links.
In yahoo, only two of those 25 are mine. the others are from what the site used to be. check the wayback machine. As I mentioned, I have time. The directory will surface out of whatever it is currrently in. In the meantime I am building bigger and better features and skining a new template for it. Obtaining higher PR backlinks, and will eventually get around to getting it into high ranked directories. I also have a tremendous workload of other work related things to deal with as well, so i am busy which helps with the patience
I am getting around 225+ visitors on directoryworldonline.com and around 175+ on - onlinedirectoryworld.com
Did you purchase an expired domain? If so, do you know whether the domain was banned before it expired?
A normal directory should receive at least 50-60 visits per day and 30 submissions per day so it runs well (this is for general directories). Niche Directories should usually get more traffic and less submissions
It was a directory prior too, and I did look around to see if anything bad existed, but to no avail, I found nothing bad at all. just a few hundred of the previously indexed pages. Here is what's weird. It *is* cached and not too long ago a cache:directorydump.com would turn up nothing, while a cache:www.[B][/B]directorydump.com would. Still though, a site: returns nothing. The domain is on its own C Class IP too for good measure (even though I dont believe it that whole ip thing.) It's just really hard to pinpoint what could be possible at this point, and holding my breathe for google to return a message, well, you know how that goes. Regardless I will continue on with the directory. Something will eventually give way and it will come out of its shell. In the meantime, I am sill working on improving the directory. Currently with the addition of extra url's based on submission. 5 for featured, 3 for regular, 1 for reg w/recip and poop for free. So I'm still busy.
Pius.us when it was free, I was getting upto 300+ a day Tikilink.com I get about upto 100 uniques a day. I agree with Aspidov that 200 is above average.
