Your Submit.php Page - How much time do you spend there?

    I was browsing Google Analytics last night and came to realize that my submit.php is one of the most trafficked pages on my entire directory. (Oh ya!).

    My conversion of page views to signups is deplorable though. (Oh no!) I get enough signups but when you look at the pageviews it could be much much more. Just curious if you are aware of your submit pages traffic, if it's one of your top pages, if you have any suggestions on making it convert better and what you think of mine? :)

    We all get so caught up doing promotion, tweaking parts of the site etc... I can't believe I haven't done more tweaking here. I'm excited to of discovered this but saddened I didn't earlier!

    What's it like at your DIR?

    How could it be different?
    For each directory it's page no.2 after homepage.
    In my case no.3 is my mods page :)
    www.linkforever.net/pld_mods.php :D
    Think it's natural.

    BTW. We reached 3000 links to LinkForever.net !

    if submit.php is highly trafficked then most your visitors are webmasters looking for listing prices. some submit and the others don't.

    Submit page is very important selling point but many people neglect it and use default or similar one in their template.

    Might be that some of those "requests" are automated attempts, so you could actually have a pretty good conversion rate.

    Dubz, I probably visited your submit page at least a half dozen times before actually submitting. Trying to figure out where best to spend my money at the time.

    So yeah, I think it's a combination of people being on the fence about submitting to a paid directory, or which type of listing to pay for, people checking prices as mhamdi said, and of course automated requests as CReed said.

    Only downside is that all the people using submission software don't see this page.
