    can anyone check my three directories showed in my signature, and tell me why pls.

    I have beening building lots of backlinks since this June, extremely on China Directory, as you can find out that on google, the ranking on hot keywords are ranked on the first page, including "china directory", "China business directory", "China company directory".

    However, even after this round pr update, I still didn't see any improvement on link subscription. IS there any good stratagy that you think can work for me to get lots of paid subscribers?

    Well that is simply explained pr or other similar rating is useless, you need to establish a marketing and promotion program and have a solid stream of quality listing being displayed as Reviews

    It all takes time, and it does not happen overnight, and it certainly does not happen due to 3rd party rating

    britishguy, many thanks for the tips!

    Just got one feature payment from seo directory, excited, I think PR is a very useful thing for directory.

    But I still wondered why china directory got less subscribers than seo directory, higher PR, more valuable content, at least I think so.

    maybe it is the domain name and folks think it is less relevant.

    Hey check this thread about tag cloud:
    http://www.phplinkdirectory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17714

    It's normal! Your directory is a niche (china), so it a little harder to get submissions from the general public. Visit other related china sites.

    You might need to make some adjustments to your business directory template.

    Actually your domain is kinda nice.

    Of course chinaguide.com would of been the bomb.

    And your site's got pretty much a good appeal and purpose for normal visitors.

    I guess, try to promote it in the right place, chinese communities or marketplaces looking for chinese businesses, information on china, that kind of stuff.

    And build your china e guide.

    Alot of people will come to your site for information.

    You don't want to get distracted and start listing irrelevant sites in there, it'll do u more harm then good in the long run.

    Develop it slowly, and after 5 years, u could probably come back here and show off your success.

    I got a question for you.

    Is the .tw domain used in china at all????

    A few months back businesses.com.tw was available and I grabbed it, along with some real nice .tw & .cn domains.

    Thought I could start something to connect Chinese businesses with the rest of the world on it.

    I'm working on a new project of mine and was trying to figure out when to put this baby into operation.

    try link building your site so that your keywords would rank to search engine and get a quality traffic coming from search engine.

    thank you for your comment! Adnan!

    sorry, but I don't know much about domain with .tw in the end.

    .tw stands for taiwan, China. you know, in mainland China, we have .cn

    so if you buy .tw domain, that means you will only focus business in taiwan, China.

    for me, taiwan has very limited market. I would recommend you to buy .cn domain for better promotion of your business.
