I just realised today that I haven’t submitted this blog to any directory, not even my own 
. This is mainly because I was never too concerned about traffic or rankings. My aim with this blog was to use it as personal training tool in my directory adventure, a place where I would be able to keep notes about what I have learned, what I have noticed etc. However, getting some activity isn’t bad, a couple of comments here and there, a bit of a discussion etc will help me keep this blog alive and possibly learn a couple of things more. So why did I use the title “Missing the Obvious”? Isn’t it obvious already? my main target audience is about 1000 people that are running directories, that I can actually force them to visit this site (even if it is just for a review) by submitting it to their directories. Some of them might stick around and get that kind of activity that I was talking about.
Moral of the story, concentrate on the obvious sources of traffic for your sites, they are easier to get and generally convert better for commercial sites.
