I started my directory 2 days ago. In thos two days I have gotten 700 submissions, over 2500 hits and a few adsense clicks. Is that good? I submitted to google 2 days ago and now I rank #1 and #2 for the term "Free Link Posting" and #6 for "Link Posting". Is this a good start? Thanks
Well not all growth is good, tumours grow with bad results. What's the url of your directory then we can give better feedback.
Depends if people look for "Free Link Posting" im guessing the other is a spelling error. Sounds like its free so it will get lots of submissions. Same with pageviews as submitters navigate their way through the directory.
Most free directories get submissions every minute. You have to be prepared to devote a lot of time to edit those links. It can be overwhelming when you start getting more than fifty link submissions a day. You need to also optimize the keywords you think users will search for to reach your directory.
Who in the heck would search for that anyway? Geez let me run to google and search for "free link posting". If your not ranking number one for your domain name there is something wrong and if your site is freelinkposting.com which is coming up number two - then that is not so good. If that is your site then approving stuff like this is - well it is not good.

If your goal is to build another worthless site filled with spam to give directories a bad name - well you're right on track for that one. As far as the traffic - by you offering a directory with no editorial standards which accepts all comers - well I would expect every submission bot out there probably has you on speed dial already. So your question - "Is this a good start?" - ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Thanks for the feedback. I thought about changing to an English only directory. Swedal - I encourage and appreciate feedback of any kind. But there is a thin line between contructive criticism and just plain old being an A**HO**. You probably arent from the south is my guess at why you cross the line from feedback to rude. I would also guess you either hate yourself or something in your life is a possibility for the rudeness. Everyone has to learn and start somewhere. And that is what I am doing. So, get off your "I am better than though" kick, and learn some manners. Have a nice day! Everyone else, Thanks!
Swedal - PM Sent - No Hard Feelings Everyone else. THANKS! If I can ever give a tip, advice, or pointer let me know. I am not the best, but will share anything I know. I get these stats by work, work, work, and a patient wife with a nice laptop. LOL
Wow. 700 submissions in 2 days. That's not bad. Did you get it listed on all major directory lists at the same time? Most directories would only get 100-150 submissions in a day after first 2 weeks. You have a good domain name there and almost 1600 searches per month for 'link posting'
Thanks. I did get a few emails from people adding me to their directory lists. I also threw in a few other tricks for seo and advertsing. I havent paid for any ads though. I thought my stats had to be decent. I just hope it keeps up!
It's a good sign of growth when people are adding your directory on their lists of directories. Good too that you're making it on search result pages, but I think it's not appropriate to start two identical threads at the same time within a forum category.
You should better listen to some old and reputable members on these forums and not your future spammers.That way u r going to have success,success,success,instead of work, work, work! You are 2 days in directories world and the person who spend the time to point you the right way to have a directory many years!
yes... why not show your directory to us? for me, it's not easy to get what you get... except that you using PPC to promote your site, or you have a Free Gift at your directory
His directory is: http://www.freelinkposting.com I think the directory owner and his visitors might benefit from less sub categories being displayed on the homepage. Just a thought.
