Hi i want to know whether we can make some good money by having a Article / web Directory site with PR3 or more. What are all the things to be done in order to get money from with no matter whether from ads of through paid submissions. Please share your suggestions / ideas. Thanks.
If the script was responsible then everyone would use the same script. Why PR3 or more, i keep seeing strange suggestions of having a certain pr means earnings. I will get straight to the point, very hard, expect to be disappointed, i suggest that you do something else.
@op if running a directory only means profits and earnings to you then perhaps you should just follow pipes and do something else... the directory field takes a lot of hard work and might not give enough returns at the end, however, if you have the passion to run a directory, stop worrying about the pr or any other 3rd party rankings and have fun running your own web directory
My directory is PR3 but I haven't got any paid review submissions for it. I am not concerned at all as I made a directory because I love it, not because of money.
You should say "Running a directory profitable?", since running phpld and other script directories are the same. To make a directory profitable, it takes some time and work. My directory (in my signature) is pr4 and 3 years old, and can only make around $50 per month (maybe because it's free and featured links only charge $2.99).
Okay Guys thanks for your suggestions so i think i need to wait more time before i get some money from my directory. @Hauanghh- Whats is your main source of income from your directory ?
Main source is like featured links and other ad space. Don't run it for Money run it for quality then automatically money flows in
I Thinks PHP LD Directory is not the Profitable venture i already have 3 Php LD directories one has 2 PR and Other two has 3 PR but i hardly get Featured Links in my directory my Earnings from Google Adsense mainly but you should have to maintain your directory if you created it's.
From a purely monetary perspective, I do think that directory business is profitable. However, it takes a lot of hard work, willingness to learn, patience and ethics to create and run one. What many seem to fail to understand that this "buying a high PR domain and making it a directory" scheme DOES NOT WORK. Before I started to run mine, I knew it'd be hard work...and it actually turned out to be harder than I was prepared for, but it was and still is worth it
I recently purchased phpLD license and now I'm struggling to get it installed (for over a week). The support is also a bit slow in response. Shouldn't software be up and running? All these trouble shootings are hidden cost to me. I still hope they'll sort it out. I'd rather spend this time wasted now to built the directory.
PR3 ~ 50$/mo sounds about right, 50$ is very good i think, more likely averaging 30-40$ / mo. directory stuff isnt what it used to be anymore.
