V7N Directory - It gets searches!

[John Scott]

So, being the greedy bastard that I am, I want V7N Directory to get used by actual people.

So, yeah, it's getting searches. Being the sneaky bastard that I am I went around to a few choice places and put up the search box on various sites.

Example: www.webmaster-forum.net

The search box is on several sites now, of those a few are high traffic sites, and the directory is getting searches.

Problem is, not enough listings. Once there are more listing in the directory, we will have a search box on every page of V7N, and I'll have the search box on a few other high traffic sites.

Just FYI

Way to get the word out.

I'd be submitting if it was a free listing.

1 day submission special for forum members?

[Ohiosweetheart]

yeah I can't afford it either

[John Scott]

Forum members (full members) do get free submission. But if the submission doesn't meet with the guidelines it will get rejected.

Cool idea. Good luck with it!

[LorenBaker]

John, those are some VERY high quality search results!

How do forum members submit to the directory without having to go through the checkout?

[John Scott]

After submitting, they just refrain from paying.

I didn't know that, I will submit my site then since I am another one of the poor folk.

Edit: I just checked out the directory and I don't see an appropriate category for my site, any ideas?

[John Scott]

What exactly does your website offer?

[MrMean]

Am I a full member?

[John Scott]

You are a "member". I think "full member" is 150 posts.

[MrMean]

I will keep plodding along then. I will get there soon! Might make my site more meaningful first to don't want it being turned down. LOL

[cldnails]

Phenomenal idea. Can't remember if I have any sites in the directory yet though...hmm

[John Scott]

As of now, V7N directory gets more traffic than SevenSeek. Over twice as much.

The search box on other sites is bringing in tons of traffic and searches.

www.suzuki-bikes.com

That search box is on tens of thousands of pages now.

Very good and thorough search tool. I like human edited directories because they limit all the crap.

Precisely.
