I subscribed time ago to a "service" that puts your website in directories etc etc the first day i got something as 100 unique visitors ..then the day after 10 or 8 or 7...are they short life links? not good ,does it mean that that service is not good? It was like a fire then becoming a small candle
thanks for help

    Well how was your return? 100 unique visitors doesn't give much of a description. For all we know they could have been 100 millionaires looking to buy a new vehicle, then they'd be worth thousands, but they could just be expired domain traffic from kids games and junk. Was your return of investment good? We cannot really decide if a service was good or not for you.

      i mean it was like a big fire nothing happened, the day after my daily visits went back to 6- 7 a day i mean that service i subscribed it has a monthly ongoing fee of 24 dollars i am undecided if unsubscribe ..may be the links were short life links just to catch you and say ..oh wow the service is cool and then nothing more happened!

    Hi filippot51,

    There are too many details that you left out of your post to answer your question.

    Perhaps you can get some insight by looking at your analytic software. Where did that first day traffic come from? Who were the referrers? Did the traffic come from moderators viewing your listing? Was it search engine traffic?

    Based on your post it sounds like you were expecting to get traffic from directory listings, and that is a good goal. However, who chose the directory list? Were the directories chosen base on the traffic they generate, or because they were free and easy to submit to.

    Were any special instructions given to the service as to which types of directories you wanted your listing submitted to? Perhaps the service is good but your website is in a category that has relatively low interest and therefor low traffic.

    Unique visitors might be those administrators who visited your site before putting your site on their directories. Just a guess.
