I am finally starting to get some search engine traffic for my articles directory. Are others here who operate an article directory experiencing poor traffic, good traffic, or mediocre traffic? And how long have you been at it. If you traffice is really good, how long did it take to get there?
This is with every site you will have to make your site popular with link popularity and other means of brining traffic
hi dc may i ask which script are your using? Actually i am looking for a good asp script but havent found it yet. Yours looks quite good.
That's a great compliment, because I wrote it. It's not php, it's .net 1.1 and MS SQL Server. I also think it is the most tightly integrated website and article directory that I know of. If anyone has seen a directory like mine, with the articles and websites listed side-by-side, please let me know. I did it this way to encourage article readers to also visit the listed websites, I hope it is working.
I run an article site at http://www.free-journal-articles.com. My SE traffic is either high or low... it depends on the recently submitted articles. If the last number of articles are mostly unique and original, the SE traffic seems to pick up. If recent articles by majority are not unique, and in hundreds of locations across the web already, then the SE traffic drops. Pretty much, just try to get as many unqiue articles submitted as you can. If all you have is shared dupe content, the SEs have no reason to direct traffic your way.
