Thread: Directory Sites?

Is starting a new directory site profitable what are the ways by which money can be made with directory?

First of all, make your directory unique.. It could be general or niche specific but try to avoid using those very common or over used directory templates.. Standout!

Join Google Adsense and layout your directory to position your ad units correctly.

With adsense, you can earn per thousand visits in your directory plus click through if you've positioned your ad units on areas that are visible to viewers. Best position would be in content, top and sidebars..

Usually, they prefer to submit their website/blog in web directories with high PR so better do something that will increase your PR. It will help you to attract visitors that will even pay or choose the "feature" option in their submission process.

If you are going to create a directory site focus on a niche, don't make it too broad. You can make money through affiliate programs, AdSense or selling banner/text links.

I am also don't idea about directory site. I think how is directory site is profit for using. I have little idea this thread. Apart from these earning methods, any other is available for earning.

But with the advent of social networking and micro blogging do you feel that directories have lost their value?

Yeah even i wanted to start a directory, but is it a good idea to buy an established directory or start a new one from scratch.
