Making money w/ directories

I have a new directory... new as in I missed the recent PR update.

Currently I have only sold 1 featured link. Here's my set up
Featured link or profile = $1/mo
Regular = Free, no recip

Since I won't be seeing PR anytime soon, and that is the main draw for people buying featured spots ... at what point do I start requiring people to link back to me for a free link?

So it would look like:
Featured $5/mo
Regular $1/mo
Free requires recip.

Can I do this if I get x number of traffic or only with PR?

you wont sell any links normally ,untill your directory is a PR 6 min.

When u looking yourself for directory submissions for your new site ,what directorys do you prefer?

... as i thought
free , and reprochical(as optional)

work on links , get your site up in the SERPS and then once you hit that pr 6 , change it to your own little rules as you then in a position to be heard,
untill then ....

sometimes you have to loose a little , to win ALOT

Remember that,

peace

Yikes PR6 !? I've never even had a PR5 site before. I guess I've got a lot of work cut out for me.

Surely there are directories that make some money if they are PR4 right?

Yes. Get good traffic. Directories are important for their traffic.
In the meantime, offer featured links for approved reciprocated links.

Initself it isnt the pr that gives u traffic,

example ,
I have a pr 7 site,
i add there a link to my directory and with some other PR 5 and PR 6 links,
with the next pr update i will have Sure a pr 6
but will i have traffic ? i doubt it.

But It does give confidence too a site and makes it credible

But one without the other is worthless.

It has to go in harmony with eachother . as in love and hate relationships : P

There are lots of directories making money that are below PR 6.
The text link brokers program only requires PR 4 and your easily make $100/month off that program alone.

The probem is there are WAAAY too many directories! And the price of links has crashed in recent years so you wont be making much money selling links off it anyway.

yep its for this , that if u want to make some serious money ,

at least a pr 6 you are going to need to get some dough ,
and it needs to look good and clear.

i understand that sir dduval wants to get as many phplinkdirectories on the net and i dont blaim him,

but as theres so many,
you need to come up with something excellent to win this game.

anyway my vision is that if i am going to do something im going to go for it,
i always compare to the best , and OFF-TOPIC : only the best is sometimes not good enough on the net: P

And well , also the most people that are going to visit your directory for the first year(s) are going to be webmaster, which means that even when you hit approx.10.000 hits you going to make less then 10 bucks with that as noone will click.

Its quite a challenge these days to come with a directory that will comply with whats missing.

good luck though,

luck

As I was saying, right now, it is easy to make $100/month with a PR 5 directory. Not serious money, but enough to make it worth your while.

I might add that it's similar to saying there are too many forums around, so you can't make money from a forum. It's all in how you run and promote your business.

you are definitly right,

but if you seen one phpnuke site, you seen them all,
with different themes or not , they always look the same.



offcourse it depends on how you run it,

so im agreeing with you here.


But if you want to do something new,
you need to come up with something new
thats all i ment to say here

I'd be happy with $100/month from this site. So I guess pr4 is a little more attainable for than a pr6.

thanks for the info.

pr 5
which isnt hard with google going frikken nuts these days: P
Just do it and if you work hard, keep it clean and keep updating it , and looking for link exchanges and being focussed , you ll get to that 6 too.

good luck

You could buy an inbound PR 8 link to get a PR 7 directory but it is expensive though.
