Ways to Promote a Directory

[yorik]

Hey there,

I have recently launched a Link Directory and I thought having a high PR attracts people to submit. But till now I have almost no subscribers. Now I doubt, whether there are ways to promote a directory.

thanks in advance... and hoping for some great suggestions

What is the current PR of your directory if I may ask? I suggest you market your directory first so as to have a bit of exposure. Directories take time to be successful. Build lots of quality and targeted backlinks first in order to do good in SERP - these quality links will also help in your PR building in the long run ;0

Then you are missing out if you haven't submitted to any directory yet.

Always opt to submit your site manually for better results. Some directories regard automated submission as spammy.

Try submitting you directory to a directory of directorys sites.

That could be a good option for a start as well as to submit to other niche and general directories - collectively, they would help in the SEO of the OP"s directory.

Also, If you can change some links with other sites.
