I'm just about to launch DirDeal.com in the next coming days. I'm thinking at a place to offer various exclusive deals/discounts for anyone interested. Also it might be a good place for a directory owner to run different promotions. What do you think about this? Also if you want to run some promotions feel free to contact me
Hey, Nice and original concept. Make sure that you promote it well since not many blogs like these present.
I think the concept is really great, I am sure this will benefit for many, especially webmasters. Good idea loredan, looking forward seeing it grow Meti
Thanks for the good feedback guys I'm working on some great deals with a few webmasters around...once we'll make the finishing touches I'll launch the site (hopefully in the next couple of days) If you are planning to start some promotional campaigns let me know... Thanks again
? How do you plan to run that, do you have it set up to go through your own pay pal system then forward the remaining $ ? , would not this be to easy to work around for the punter if the Dir owner ran the same deal from their site, saving the 10% Edit: Please do not get me wrong i like the idea but see the 10% rule being very hard to impliment with the nature of the business. In addition can i suggest adding one thing, Subscribe to a daily email, this would cover the latest promo plus the other 6 to give maximum effect to the promotions and would allow me to check my daily email for the latest offer, then if i liked it log on and buy it.
DownUnder, thanks for the input. All we ask from a directory owner when we start promoting his deal is an exclusivity of this deal for 7 days. We offer to advertise the promotional campaign in many webmaster places and the best part of the story is that people won't search every directory for deals but rather they would preffer to check them all in one place. Regarding the 10% - I did not find the right way to monetize this yet and I'm willing to try some more things within the next few weeks and to see which one works better. I'm thinking not to charge a penny and to monetize the concept only through advertising. We'll see how it goes...that's why I have posted in here...your opinions are highly appreciated, guys! Emailing...hmmm...to be honest I'm not quite a fan of emailing stuff as I get fed up with some many spammy emails I receive on daily basis (like any of you I think). I would rather preffer the RSS bookmarking thing so if someone is interested to check the deals on daily basis he can just visit the site or read his newsfeeds rather than receiving one email each day...I don't know...this is what I'm thinking it will work better... Thanks again for the input
Nice blog buddy... if interested promote my latest new launched free site-sift theme there! - All the best with it.
All is good, with the 10% i am sure (may be wrong) those other sites would have an affiliate link to the said offer so that way they catch the 10% as it is say i had a discount on my feature and promoted it, they would need to come to my site to sign up with their detials, then to tell who came from your site or not would be hard without that affiliate link the best think would be a discount code only shown on your site, but then the end user would need to have that option. so it may be better with an advertising fee, ? with the email i was thinking an option not spam, where i could option to get that email. the idea can work, good luck with it.
I finally found some time to launch the site so you can get the first deals on DirDeal.com ! I have decided to make this a free service for now so if you have any deals you would like to promote just get in touch with me to reserve an available day for your promotion. Thanks
A fantastic offer, and a great looking site. Will be happy to throw a deal up shortly for our first official launch / promo.
