“I think a lot of people get very misguided with building a directory”
yes very and i was in that boat, my old sites got traffic but to be honest it was pointless traffic.
“if you think you can just scrape Yelp and slap up a directory you will have a hard go of it”
This is the very reason of the post, if your scraping yelp your offering nothing as thats what yelp is for. Creating something unique is where it’s at or your just wasting your time and your visitors time.
“Also it has to be as unobtrusive as possible” that is a perfect analysis and good choice of words 🙂
I can’t use related posts for the simple reason it “may” put people off the company in question. As a business owner myself i would not link to my own listing that had my competition on the same page.
Thats where a lot also go wrong when creating “niche” sites.
Thanks for the kind words, I have to disagree if you mean banner advertising, I am anti banners, they don’t work and generally the ctr to conversions is horrendous. I am all for clean sites (i dont even show related posts)
p.s just added you on Facebook
Sorry what i meant was you get a free listing but whats the point in a free listing that shows a name and address (thats what googles for) it adds no value and clogs up a “clean” directory. I would prefer 10 listings that are of “use” than 100 that offer no value if you get me.
No, i created a custom post type called deals and did it that way so users can manually add them. I just link them manually
Ok will do.
It’s not just about customising 🙂 Just wanted your advice on creating a multi-site for countries and if its possible and a couple more things like the removed “gd vouchers” plugin
How much would you charge for a 20 minute phone call ?
Have you got a realistic timeframe for the beta ? I know thats probably a stupid question but one can only hope 🙂 Is there anyway to take a peek at what you have so far ? I am really intrigued as having spent £5k with envato and others i have to say yours is the best for “directory functionality” and “seo”, but it’s just a “Magento” for us to customise lol
Me too Stiofan hahaha, I left when eBay bought them.
While your here is there a realistic timeframe of your blog posts as I have seen posts over the last month promising blog posts etc. Not being rude by the way I just want to make a decision whether to stick with you guys or not.
I like the way you have built the geo directory from an seo point of view but lacking in the flexibility department. If I email can i test a copy of the beta for example to make a decision ? I will be using a directory as my main source of income in the future so will be in it for the long run and what i have “works” but I need to expand on it.
many thanks in advance
It reminds me of Magento with all the blocks
Thats great as customisation is a mare
it was showing a 32px gap for me at the top of the header
I had the same problem, try this, use the settings in pic and then add this to the css
.header {
top: 0;
}
