hello. i have a problem with my directory. i create it few weeks before. i have 2 version one in french and one in English. i just show this directory in 3 big french forums and the same in English. In french seo forum these threads was the mosts reads, most ranking (of the day, then of the week, and now the month), and very appreciate . in English, nothing, no-one read no-one say something about my directory. Result : i gone from 0 to 500 in the french one in the same time 0 to 15 in English and all french ? someone know why ?
The question is not why not The question is WHY should anyone? What's unique about your site/directory.
Cause if a lot of french people like this directory and subscribe, it should be some English persons who subscribe too. Then i think i have done something wrong in the English version. That is a different thing. is a directory where site are ranked by quality and by webmasters. and the rank depends only the quality i.e.: 1 - you insert your site. 2 - you have to select the two better site from 5 3 - if your choice is correct (other persons done the same site), you got more points : (0 correct site -> 0 points , 1 -> points, 2 -> 2points) 4 - you got up to 5 more points from the choice of 5 others webmasters
i don't read french but maybe your site is not interesting enough... or maybe the fact that you dont write english well your post in the english forum came out wrong
What about adding some articles or some content to the site? Also, I noticed you don't have Business category.
for English person ??? and for french, ranked as the most interesting and reading thread between 23.500 ..... i don't think. or maybe the fact that you dont write english well your post in the english forum came out wrong the english version is here : -www.webmaster-rank.info .... maybe is was the problem .... youd don't click to the UK flag to see the english version ???? and don't look at the URL ???
you mean ? there is too many directories in English web ? The french web if full of directories too and is and is very concurrencial ...(but yes, in total it was less that in English)
Lol ... it should be less competitive. then when a English person look at my site.... He was feed-up of directories and don't want to "lose" some time to read what it was... ... and think that what he see is only publicity like always ... did it could be the most cause of the differences ?
I agree with above, there seems to be not much French competitors, in english there are hunders (or thousands)...
I agree with above, there seems to be not much French competitors, in English there are hunters (or thousands)... OK, but that not the only reason, cause it was a lot in french too... but in french with 30 news visitors per day i have 15 new web sites. and in English ...... nothings Maybe you could say why you don't subscribe to my directory ?
1) The design of directory is not typical, and should be improved (see how the other, especially top directories look) 2) There are not much entries in english section, so I think (as potential submitter) that people don't evaluate this as something worth a time. 3) I've added my site as a test yesterday, and there is nothing till today - maybe this is the main reason?
Thx for comments. 1 & 2 could be one of the good reasons. I don't want to put new site like that Only real webmasters could do it, for the rank will be good. Don't know, maybe. In french it take from 4 to 24 Hours to be added. You have to wait 10 to 20 new added sites for have the vote of 5 webmasters. Then, maybe the 2 is the good reason, first french people say is not a problem cause they like the system maybe is a different things for english.
Ok, but please don't disregard my third point - If I see that my time is lost, I never come back to same directory and won't recommend it to anybody. Of course after my first submission, which is the main problem now...
Lol, the 3rd point is important. It was the same thing for french people, that start from 0. Maybe English people prefer directory with a lot of site inside instead of quality Now in the french one, it was dozens of new site each day i hope it will be the same things for the English in few days. No-way, with ten or twenty time more English persons than french. Have 100 time less interesting English person instead of 20 time more is not normal.
hello, I think you should introduce your directory to the suitable section, ie Directories - Solicitations & Announcements, you will get plenty of people submitting their links to your directory. Regards Thibaut
