I find that claim unbelievable on the sites listed, they are low pr and in one case no internal PR. There is no unique appeal either. So I would really love to know how you are making 600 dollars on them. I have a number of directories, most have internal pr on categories and subcategories and paid listings are 'steady' but not 600/monthly.
It's all about the advertising...Advertise everywhere possible. And many people don't look at PR, and I don't as well. But I won't try to explain all my marketing strategies and to give proofs of the income. Belive it or not. I said what I had to, it's up to you now.
I mean big portion of your monthly income...good comments,..many directories popup and go away.. wow low x,xxx per month -- contantly? how old is your directory? amazing..
I think nobody really can make a living from just a directory. Only a handfull of quality directories like Alive and Aviva BOTW, etc. Are capable of 100,000s year in business. Not small directories.
This one does http://www.themostexpensivedirectory.com/ only as to sell 1 or 2 links a month LOLOLOLOL.
I don't think directories make that much,because first they have to promote there site and put a lot of work into it after all that it make very little.
about 80-90% of income from webspassage goes back into promotion etc.. which usually returns more than spent so its like a cycle i live off other sites
I just finished spending $2,000 promoting my new Ask Directory so at this moment I am negative I am still putting money in, and I think the people that make money on directories on the first year are just selling worthless listings because they are not investing on the business.
