The Power of Eatonweb: An Example

Submitted by Ryan Caldwell on July 14, 2007 - 2:04pm in

I tried an experiment this week.

I wanted to see what could be accomplished by launching a site (Watch Guru)and then doing zero promotion outside of submitting the blog to the EatonWeb Blog Directory.

Well, I expected for Google to index the blog and to see a slight trickle of experimental searches (Google sends experimental searches to new sites to test out user behavior at the site).

What I didn't expect was for the site to immediately show up at number 3 on a search for "watch guru" - but that's exactly what has happened (as of Saturday morning, five days after launch).

So there you go. More reason to submit to EatonWeb. Very powerful. I'm sorta shocked.

  • Stumble
  • Delicious
  • Digg
  • Reddit

powerful directories are very, very powerful

I'm surprised at how people trash directories blanketly - there are a handful of them (EatonWeb included) which are almost critical to the launch strategy of any blog / website.
