Web Directory Question

I'm considering starting a web directory but would like to know what/how much it would cost to do so..

Other than purchasing a domain, and most likely, PHP Link Directory ($25), and time spent working on and advertising the directory, what else is it gonna cost to start a web directory??

Thanks

Would you guys recommend it? Or the likelyhood of success is so low, it's not worth it?

Domain, software, hosting and advertising - thats it.
But please understand that google is coming hard on paid directories. Monitizing directories could be very difficult in the future - and at present.

Do you just mean web masters who own paid directories, or people who pay and are in paid directories too??

Hmm...would it still be worth it to stay a free directory and just have ads then??
