Directories

Directory Forum for Directory Owners

I was busy from last some months, so this blog is looking like dead blog. I made a forum for Directory Owners where they can discuss about any topic related to directories. There are also some webmaster related section for who don’t want to talk about Directories.

I will make some contest on that forum soon like posting or promoting on other forums. If you get any error using forum, please inform me. We edited the skin and some other function to make it more user friendly but it making some problem to many users.

Some Tips for Bidding Link Directory owners

I lounched a PR4 Bidding Web Directory 2 days ago. During this I got some good tip from member of forums. I am posting them here so every can get benifit form them.

1. If you are listing your own sites then don’t make it on high price, make it $1 so other bidder can compete and bid on your dierctory.
2. Make minimum bid account $2. If you make it $1 then paypal will cut most of money as fees.
3. Join webmaster forums and post your directory there, also add it to in your signature.
4. Post your directory on other bidding directories.
5. Use a attractive them. If you can’t get a custom unique theme then so some customization to your theme so its look different and better.

Thanks to Owner of Bid For Links for these tips.

Paid Directory or Free Directoy

This is not about submitting your site to directories, this topic is created for people who creates directory.If you are going to create a directory then who have to decide between two things. Free directory or paid directory.

I have both type of directories. I made free one first then paid one. Paid is new but I am earning more money then free directory. Free directory is more popular but when it comes to money creating paid directory is the best way.

At free directory I work hard to promote it. I got lot of submission, around 100 sites a day. It hard to check which site is goo, legal and delete the spam. At other hand, my paid directory I never saw any spam there and I am earning more money. The money form paid directory earn in a month is equal to free directory’s one years earning.

So I think I will never create any more free directory as they have not so much revenue. Paid one is always better. Why  have free when people want to pay.

But if you already have free directory then you can still earn money form this by selling links and banners or you can also offer some featured links for money. Many people can earn more money from free directories but i can’t. I can earn only traffic and get good Alexa rank  for free directory.
