Need advice

[detoam]

I have 4 directories. And I have been working round the clock advertising wherever I can. I have even went and bought an advertising package through the text-link-ads, But I can't get people to submit links. Can someone give me a tip as to what I can do? I do have a lot of people coming to see them and I had quiet a few submissions, but most of them were spam or spammy sites.anic:

let us know the url of your directories. Without seeing your sites, how we can advise?

 

[temi]

Detoam,
Directory business is VERY competitive, I have seen one of your sites, I wanted to submit to it as well but I changed my mind because quite a few things can be improved including your pricing.
I will send you some suggestions via PM
Thanks

Hah Pming your pals now. What about us poor people who know nothing about building a directory?

 

[temi]

James,
Some of the stuff are very basic, some could be considered "insult" if read wrongly, that is why I am trying to be very cautious so that he will not take it as an offence.
With you, Bagi and other people I know well I will not hesitate to be blunt as I know you will know I mean no offence but the gentleman is question is new to this forum, I don't know him well yet, that is the reason for PM rather than posting it publicly.

Temi, take a chill pill man I am winding you up

Do your directories have a high PR?

 

[detoam]

I am finally able to post links so here You go.
JRS Directory
D's Directory PR2
Detoamweb directory
Detoam's web directory
N33ded link premium directory

They don't have a high PR. Only one of them actually has a PR. The domains have been around awhile, but I just started to promote them and to create those directories.

Detoam, I suggest you to customize the design of your directories since I belive that the custom design is a stressed step for brand building.

 

[temi]

Completely agree with Bagi, I know you are busy but when you have time make the sites as different from one another as possible including different category structure

 

[detoam]

Thank you guys. I got a tip for You guys as well. I have requested DigiXMAS to include my directories into their submitter and they finally did. I have been busy today running between directories and approving links. I also use that submitter for my sites and it is great.
Note: Your directory has to have free unrestricted regular links for them to add it to their list.

 

[temi]

Thanks for that tip, now sure I want an auto submitter pumping my directory full of all sorts.

 

[detoam]

it's not completely auto. The person still has to enter the Captcha and make sure that category is correct. Out of all submissions today (about 200) I have only refused maybe 10 and those were because they are simply to much of crack pot.

 

[temi]

Its worth it then, thanks for that clarification. BTW, i want to submit some sites to your directories, is that okay?

Of course. Everyone is welcome to do so. I had to raise the price on my new directory though because I am starting a massive ad campaign for it. But the reciprocal is free there.
