in our directories, %60 of traffic comes from the List of Directories, Directory of Directories, Blogs etc. Rest of traffic comes from SEO forums and from Search Engines as well.
Mot of my traffic now that I turned paid and my directory was removed from the free directories lists comes from Google.
1.bookmarked URL. 2. vilesilencer 3. directorycritic 4. strongestlinks 5. seocompany.ca list are some of the best traffic sources. And from directory of directories of course ! search engines are the best traffic sources, than anything.
