Will bid for position directories stick around?

You read the question, what do you think?

In 6 months time will we all look and say "oh,no, it's one of those bidding directories" or will we say "great" and pay to submit our sites?

Just interested in what you think as I have no opinion of my own

 

Well like any business, those stick around that market enough.

Cheers

 

I have a 'life after death' plan. always expanding.

 

as long as ones going to heaven then youll be alright...lol

Im sure you will find somthing to keep the flow going....

May i suggest you figure out a way to change the front page
as its going to get a little ruff when you have the front page
with $300-$1000 bids as Not many Fish will bite after that
NO MATTER how much PR you have .....

thx

Thats means donating the earnings after death to charity???

 

it means im always ahead of the pack with innovative thinking to maximize the benefits for any and all who would like to help me help them

 

I was thinking about this too. I guess the difference between buying a normal link is that you're also buying an advertisement and proving you are a serious marketeer by investing to advertise. Be interesting to see how it pans out though

 

NO im in his "WILL" already..heheheh
i get to take care of the frekin dogs go figure lol

 

Only the top directories will survive in this case also....

I am surprise to see huge promotions by bigweblinks.com - GREAT GREAT - Another top from Chris..
And good to see An0n also working on it.
Now lets wait for Jeff

 

Some with brain and some with $$$$ will survive this phenomenon and rake in the Mollah . But many will vanish in the thin air without trace

But is not it same for all niche categories and for websites? So this question is rather irrelevant IMO.

 

Well I would hardly expect someone who owns one to post "No, they will be dead in 20 minutes"
I ask because obviously I have thought about opening one but can't get past the "short-term" gain stage. Webmasters are a very fickle bunch (I guess that includes me) and hard to please until the next new thing comes along, a 10 deep link mod or a listing you can top-up, and I just want some opinions about longevity.... if you have one.

 

I saw the same freaking question 18 months ago, when phpld was starting to get popular. guess what, now?

 

Drat! promised myself I wouldn't subscribe to any more of these... but made an exception

 

Some will not survive because they are unable to modify the concept, and have no room for expansion --- the others have long term staying power.

You have to decide which is which!

This concept is still so very new, give it some time to grow ... it wasn't that long ago people were asking if directories could survive!

I believe we are going to see some great innovations soon ...

Besides the big money has not entered the market yet!
Can't think of a decent idea that wasn't bought up by a big corp and screwed over before it died.

 

I guess if it has that kind of future it will only be a matter of time until it's an available mod for phpld, is anyone working on it, or is it done already?

 

He who makes it.... and Promotes it FIRST gets the Green light...

 

As long as it says "based on an idea from the owner of JustOneUK" I don't mind

 

The model will have to evolve… and something different will appear.

 

Its called page 2-3-4-5 of Catagory letter B-C-D-E

YES ....i want 10% of total sells for the idea if mods are made..... I called it first!

thx

alphabetic categories produce a bunch of pages containing non related links (link farms? ) The ones with normal categories like big web links have much higher chances to survive. (chris should slowdown the link buying though )
