Revenue Prospects
=================
Webmasters need links and will always need links. There are millions of webmasters on earth so millions of potential customers. Revneue depends the way you market it. I make 580$ per month just because i dont know marketing. You can do it better and earn more. A maximum of 10 sitewide link spots can be sold on the directory without reducing quality. (you can sell more offcourse). In such cases the revenue through sitewide links comes to be around extra 300$ per month which can be made as a income or reinvested in the directory to get it more Page Rank and traffic.
