The Power of a Specialized Directory
The Power of a Specialized DirectoryYou know that old saying? Build it and they can come? It's true that it's a line from a '90s baseball movie, Field of Dreams, but that saying still holds true in the world of specialty directory sites.
It seems that with the arrival of a new directory script from some unknown publisher, another webmaster is quick to jump on the bandwagon of creating another directory. But there is a problem with that. EVERYONE is creating the same search directory!
So how do you stand out in a sea of equality? Easy. Create a specialized directory and request links from the websites your directory targets. This way, you will create a unique database and spread the word to webmasters in your niche that you are actively seeking submissions. As time goes on, your page ranking should increase with links passing and people talking about your site. That's the goal, right? You can even start charging webmasters for placing links on your website. Or even charge for shipping! At some point, all of your shipments could be paid shipments! You just need to master your niche with your specific directory. Take me for example, I'm trying to do just that with my diet directory. It's not really a sophisticated directory, but it only caters to the field of diet and weight loss. Over the next few months I will be tracking how well I can penetrate and benefit from staying in this niche.
But it all comes down to promotion your niche directory. Let's be honest, you could have the best directory in the world. Chances are, if no one can find it, then it's completely useless. What you need to do is quickly market your niche directory. Submit a press release, have a writing solution write 10 promotional NESTOR VAZQUEZ IGAMING SEO posts focused on the power and usability of a niche directory like yours, and submit your directory to as many major search platforms as possible. Then finally, and most difficult, reach out to those sites in your niche to fill their directory. I think over time you can see solid results. I hope I can do it!
