It seems like a lot of people run directories. I have not built any high traffic web sites yet. I have an idea for a niche site, but haven't quite developed the skills to implement it yet. Would a directory be a worthwhile project in the meantime if I put the time into taking care of it?

Right now my goal is very simple: I want to get experience SEO and building a high-traffic web site, and would also like to start earning enough money to pay for some nice hosting and a few domains every month (~$100). I know there are a lot of directories, but are they still a viable opportunity to earn at least a little extra money?

i think so
as long as you can get the most important pages a nice pr, people who have the money, will buy your links if the prices are resonable.
And you can also earn money with adsense
i'm starting one myself :P

I think that it could be a good idea to make a directory. However something I realized is that a lot of them are appearing. However advertising is always great, so it might help.

I don't think so. Directories are way overdone.

Good point. A niche directory has the potential to do quite well.

However the problem I find with niche directories is how many sites will find your directory? With a broader directory, there are a lot more opportunities for a site to advertise on it. But with a Niche one, you run the risk of not having very many sites on your directory.

Directories can make you money, but it usually takes time until the directory is popular and gets a good high PR, only then you can start charging for features links etc. well know popular directories with a PR7+ charge $40/year fior a link, sometimes even more, but as I said, its takes time to reach that state.
I wouldnt recommend going after directories if your looking to start earning in a short time.

make sites, found a good free hosting solution, and make a lot of sites, and submit to directories, or you can make blogs in blogspot or anothoer blog service, and with that you can have some $$ to invest.
