I only need traffic. Traffic from SEs. Traffic from directories. Traffic from natural backlinks. Traffic from forums and other social media. It is all about traffic.
[I have other business priorities. That does not matter right now.]

Really the elephant in the room is how much time I put into my work. That is the main thing.
The truth hurts.
The best directories are the ones that show up in Google Analytics. To get more, just go to only the popular ones, using a ranking site like Alexa.
Am I missing something?
I need more work ethic, to improve my traffic.
