I'm submitting my startup to 100 directories so you don't have to.
Most founders say directories are a waste of time.
I'm going to find out.
Over the next few weeks I'm submitting Novel Mage to 100 startup directories and tracking everything:
• Approval rate
• Backlinks
• Traffic
• Signups
• SEO impact
• Which directories are actually worth the effort
I'll share all the numbers publicly even if the results are terrible.
Has anyone here done something similar?
One thing I'd pay attention to is the directories that send almost no traffic initially but keep sending a few qualified visitors every month. Those often end up being more valuable than the ones that create a one-day spike and then disappear. Looking forward to seeing that part of the data.
