Hi All,
I have been adding my site to various free online directories recently. There have been good results so far, but definitely not exceptional! One of the most important (actually THE most important) thing for a website is traffic. Obviously it needs to be quality traffic as well. My buyrefs experience hasn't been that great, massive bounce rate and people only staying for 1-10 seconds. I need to have people stay longer! It seems to only be good for signups, not visitors.
One of the ways I used to generate traffic with other sites was through 'topsite lists' (and that's why I added one to my site). They can bring in a lot of traffic, but I haven't seen to many around these days. Mine is still new, but join if you want to add your site to it!
I have also been hearing a lot about the Best of the Web! directory, so I decided to sign up for their 90 day free trial which I noticed that I get with StartLogic. I am trying to keep my advertising and marketing spend down to a minimum at the moment. Apparently after 90 days it's $29.95/month to be listed in the directory! I signed up through paypal so I can cancel my subscription anytime before the free trial ends.
I'll keep you updated as to whether or not it is worth it to pay money to have your site listed somewhere or not! Does anyone actually go to that site to search and browse? The beauty of tracking statistics means I'll find out over the next 90 days!
One last thing for today! A very good free SEO tool to help you check on how your site is 'doing' which I have discovered today is websitegrader.com It has shown me a few interesting things that I will need to work on over the next few days.
Anyways, have a good day, keep working hard & speak soon!
