This being said there are ways you can make quality content to fill small gaps in search engines and quickly produce some "short" articles in order to fill out your site. This article looks at a simple quick and effective way to get your own directory off the ground cheaply and quickly.
Things You Will Need To Start Your Own Article Directory Online
For once this list is fairly small! (and cheap)
A web address (yoururl.com)
A web host (pick one that has 1 click WordPress installation)
An article directory WordPress theme (available free)
A WordPress Article directory plugin (available for free)
A lot of time in the beginning to produce your content
Pick your website name and title and find a quality host that allows quick installation of WordPress themes and plugins, you can do a quick search online for an article directory theme and plugin, they are easily available free of charge, follow the set up instructions to install both of those and you are ready to begin adding your content!
Setting Up Your Categories In Your Article Directory
This is a little time consuming, however my advice here is to start with around 10 main titles such as art, cars, SEO and so on (or use an article directory for ideas of categories) Pick out around 10 that you like the look of and are not going to get bored writing about. (remember you will need to continually supply content until your directory takes off!)
Once you have made up all your categories add just 1 related sub category to each of your main headings, this will give you an extra line of links back to your main page.
Adding Your Content To Your Directory
To get started the quickest way of getting some content on your directory is using "" searches with little to no results in search engines, you should also use the related searches feature of the search engine to produce a few low competition article titles for your article directory.
Once you have a title, write up a keyword rich related article and submit it under the relevant heading of your site. Repeat this around 2 times for each of the sub headings that you made earlier.
Note: If you do not have long spells to create all the articles in 1 go, think about how many you can do and create categories for just those, this will stop your website looking empty.
Building Up Your List of Authors
This section is a little of a "cheats" way of doing things, to get figures and stats on your directory you can create author accounts for yourself, then go through your categories again and repeat this for around 20 authors, this will give you stats that look like your directory is growing, and also continually add new and fresh content to your directory.
If you have a fair amount of spare time you can get this section done fairly quickly and you will soon find that other authors are coming to your site and adding content for you!
