Hello everyone, You have a directory, let me know how much you earn from your directory every month ? Can you live with only 1 directory site ?
really depends on what kind of directory it is. whether it is just another directory running off a free script with a free template or a well designed directory with custom layout and paid script. also depends on how much you promote and how much traffic you get. you can make a big fat ZERO or could make thousands
Depends on script you want to use , if you start with PHPLD as milions did, you will never grow up - Nice design and thousands of post around forums to promote it. Good categories - very detailed - for start you need to list websites for free - untill search engines pick up your content. And so many other things. It is possible to earn but start to use small spoon .
Nice question! Honestly I say that I've not earned any big amount from my directory http://www.datadac.com except getting 1-3 clicks everyday but sometimes gets big 0 even getting click How people thinks and hopes from their directories, but my aim was to get sale some sponsored and paid client for featured areas. But nothing.....! Without good PR and BL from relevant websites, nobody like to place their site link on such directories which doesn't fit according to advertiser requirements. And I must wanna say that never keep your online business like directory website as your live earn. These things are only a such business which may give you some bugs but you can't except from directory to get nice result. So now my aim is to make my directory noise in the web
Well, if you're planing to live off directory then my advice.... keep your day job because you will need it in order to pay for your "directory" domain and web hosting fastreplies
By "getting clicks" I assume you are trying to make money with adsense on a directory. If that is the case, you should scrap that idea now. Directories are notorious for being bad for adsense. Even if you whore it out with ads and try to "trick" visitors into clicking, you probably will only make a few bucks a month. The overwhelming majority of directory users are webmasters...and they NEVER click on ads.
Earning from the directory very if you can promote more you can earn good but now a days it';s really tuff to earn form directory by adsense if you got good PR and you can offer paid link
