Hi all, I have a mobile sms collection site which is getting good traffic daily.. I am thinking of making a directory within this site which will work on a URL something like www.smsbucket.com/directory.html It will have ALL the categories a directory has. What do you think about this idea? Does it worth submission in this kind of directory? Any suggestion for me?
Since your site is solely SMS niche, why bother with a general directory? Yes, you could create a subfolder or subdomain for the directory (domain.com/directory or directory.domain.com) and keep it on topic - having hundreds or thousands of outgoing, completely unrelated links will see your site decline until it appears on page 7324 on Google
No that wouldn't be a good idea. The only way this would benefit your current site and its visitors would be if you had a niche directory focused on the topic of the main site. IMO that would make a useful addition and would please your current visitors.
It will not help you if make it general. If you really want to do it, make it a mobile related niche directory.
Yes that's a good idea think about giving extra information given to your visitors about other sms sites ,mobile software downloads ,mobile mp3 songs etc...
Thank you friends for your suggestion. I will NOT make a general directory then, will make a directory with specific niche (mobile/gadets related). I am happy to talk about this thing here, otherwise I was going to take a wrong decision
I'd got for a vertical portal which would include a directory but not a general one. SMS is global so you'd never be short of content or target audience.
