Web Directory IssuesIssues pertaining to operating or dealing with online directories, or general info about DMOZ, Yahoo!, Google Directory, BOTW, Ezilon, etc.
making money from a directory is not really easy. You should have sound knowledge of SEO and a good pagerank too. but getting good pagerank is not enough because u have to maintain that pagerank so that people can trust ur site as a GOOD one.
also I think making a directory only for money is not good, you should also focus on adding QUALITY websites in ur directory because now a days everyone is making a directory and it is rarely seen that a directory has quality websites listed.
i havent got a directory but IMO owners of directories should have a knowledge with SEO and other things that take part on their site being popular...that way a lot will get some featured links through their site....
Thanks John. The article was great and I plan on going back to read more later. Since I'm trying to figure out what to do with my directory. It hasn't been used to make money yet so it's interesting to see what can be done
Been almost a year now and I'm just now feeling comfortable with the money my directory is making. I throw the term 'making' around real lightly, because it's not profit. doh!?
No easy money in directories when building your own.
