    Hello.

    I own a PR5 domain so i decided to put it to good use and make a directory so others can get backlinks e.t.c

    http://www.microbicides2004.org (PR5)

    Above, is the site.

    I was just wondering.......

    1) Any other categories that could be added?
    2) Will people want to add their link?
    3) How much should I charge for featured link?
    4) Where should I advertise it?
    5) Will the PR attract more people, especially if regular listing is free? (or not?)
    6) Any other ideas to help improve it?


    Any feeback will be fantastic and green rep will be given for all helpfull comments! :D

    ps: As you can see i am new to all this. :confused: but willing to learn!

    I would pick a slick template for it, get yourself a logo, charge $5 for regular or $10 for featured and advertise it at http://info.vilesilencer.com and www.directorycritic.com this will get you good traffic, make sure you buy links to maintain the PR and then once you get PR on the inner pages you can put the pice up and make $'s.

    Edit:

    The template is good it just changed for me now you just need to get yourself a logo, just submitted a few sites, please approve them.

    I would suggest offering free links to start off and ask submitters to give you a link back (you can make this compulsory or make it optional). This will start building some backlinks early on and hopefully maintain the PR in the next update.

    I got another question...

    1) Will google take away PR if there're links to adult sites?
    2) Will google stop me displaying adsense because of the adult section of links?

    Thanks.


    ps: 376 Links strong. Only just over 12 hours old :p
