Week two, how did it do?

Hey, that rhymed, I’m a poet and I didn’t even know it. Well, it’s week two of the Unofficial WordPress directory, and again it’s been an awesome turnout, I knew there wouldn’t be as many submissions as the first week.

I still had some, though, which tells me people believe in the project, and that is music to my ears. I’ve had conversations with developers and business owners, some lovely DMs via Twitter and great email conversations.

Got a mention in the following newsletters:

Huge thank you to the above, I’ve got to name names, so here goes, mad thanks to Davinder, Simon and Anh, you guys literally made my day(s)!

Traffic wise? Well, I did get a bunch, of visits, see below for a screenshot, bearing in mind I launched on the 20th of June:

I’m bewildered by it, but I’m more excited than ever and this just goes to show, the WordPress directory has real legs, people are looking for something different when looking for WordPress products!

New products added to the WordPress directory

Thoughts on progress

Deep down, I knew I wouldn’t have as many submissions as the first launch week. Not for want of trying, but I am working on pushing the directory as much as possible, and getting it under people’s noses.

Like I said earlier, I’m not disheartened, I’m incredibly enthusiastic about the directory and putting everything I can muster into it. 

I’ve still got lots to do, but as I said to someone on Twitter yesterday, I haven’t had this much fun in ages, and long may it continue.

Want to submit your product?
