Promoting Seasonal Directory Topics

    I run a simple deep link directory that does nothing but categorize articles and similar resources across the Web - www.FreeDeepLinks.com.

    As for general marketing, before the end of the year, I'm going to be upgrading the script, changing the domain to something more "reader friendly", and altering the design / template.

    But one thing that's been working exceptionally well (making this my biggest earner regularly, b/c I get good ads on the niche pages and results), is using the header to promote seasonal and/or popular topics and such.

    Right now, I've got two dedicated to Halloween that have done well for me ("Halloween" and "Paranormal"). With that obviously ending today, I'll be changing them. One is going to be changed to "Thanksgiving", but I'm not sure what else is "current" in the Fall to be featuring, other than perhaps US election articles, but there are few, if any at all right now, added yet to promote.

    Can you think of something else that would be timely for at least a few weeks that might be worth pushing a little bit?

    Thanks. :)

    What about "Fall" itself? Seems like Fall & Thanksgiving go hand in hand.

    Fall would be too general unfortunately, considering I'd be featuring other topic already within it - like the holiday and Fall travel which will be staying. Thanks though. :)

    NFL Football ? - A Landing page for each team maybe, adsense would push the ticket peddlers all over it and they payout pretty well with decent clickthroughs ?

    The NBA starts this week too..

    I don't know. I'll have to see if any general articles on football have been added. I don't think the teams would work for a directory of only articles though. But general football articles may. Thanks. :)

    Well, if you have articles there, you're more than welcome to add deep links to them individually like anyone else. ;)
