Thread: Yahoo Directory VS 8k Directory Submissions

I've been having a serious dilemma trying to figure out how to spend my advertising budget. Like most people I haven't got a large budget so I am trying to figure out where to spend it to get the biggest impact. I found this company that will submit my website to 8,000 directories for $250, I tried it with 1,450 Directories on another website, but I am not getting a lot of traffic. Should I just spend the $299 to get this new website into the Yahoo Directory. What's your experience?

directories are mainly for the linkback not the traffic

I would go for the directories and not yahoo.
Yes, mostly for the backlinks.
Don't go into submitting to directories for traffic.

I found a site for $20 a month, you can submit to like 4000 directories, all with varying page rank.

EmmaB is right.. directories are for backlinks..
you can join different communities to promote your site..
you need more promotion for your site to get noticed..
you can also submit to different social bookmarking site...

check out resellergo.com

That's the one I will test out over the next few days.
Works good, I may go for the gold plan and offer submissions.

If you used a service, it would be interesting to see how many listings you actually received and the quality of the listings. For the sites that we promote, we just manually submit to a couple new ones each day, and that has been working for us.

You should do Social bookmark marketing, Classifieds sites, Press release, blogs for Traffic. It can help a lot.

8k directory submission will bring u good SERP which can inturn bring u good traffic.So I support that.

Luster is right, you can do Press Release, social bookmarking and social networking, They really helps and it is proven.

are there any others sites or software other than resellergo.com I can use to submit links to directories myself? I mean any good one's?

I was maintaining 20 blogs and one was Yahoo directory submitted. I saw almost no difference in the traffic.
