    So I would like to ask if running your directories is your main job, or just a hobby - suplamentary income.
    I know that most of you (us) would like to be able to live on this some day. But how many of you have already achieved this?

    My directoires and other websites are currently just my hobby as i have a full time job as a wagon driver

    but i will one day make it my full time job as at the moment 90% of the money i make goes back into the sites

    I am a full time webmaster, and even though my web directory is not my main job/site, it is the site I am investing the most money into right now.

    Good to see searchbuster.org in your list Chris.

    Directories aren't my full time yet, but are gradually grabbing more of a share of my online time.

    I'm happy to see two of my directories giving you traffic, Chris, but I think you forgot another one :) !

    Directories are not my full time job and I never planned to make a living out of these. I'm a Sports and Physical Education teacher by profession (University and Highschool) and also run a few businesses in the real life: a building company, a small fitness centre and now I'm setting up a new advertising company :)
    I'm also a handball coach and I just won both the National League and the British Cup this season with my women team :)

    great to see two of my directories give you traffic chris but is that reply suppose to be in this thread lol? I thought there are another thread where we discussing about top directories that sending most traffic

    Btw, I am a fulltime webmaster and have 15 websites, 7 of them are directories so I can say that directories are my main job even though there are not my major source of income (yet). That is because in directory business, you need to invest lot of money first and thats what I'm doing right now.
