    I am happy that you are lucky with your directories. What I cannot understand is, how can you get somebody to pay for inclusion in your directory if the sub-pages have no PR?

    However, as long as it concerns Adsense, I agree completely. Some directory/ad combinations can really earn a lot of clicks.

    I'm happy for you, and I think it's a shame that google has been punishing the paid directories.

    submitters paying for pr will become less popular as the majority of directories wont have pr with inner pages as is happening now

    I don't want to be mean, but I'm sure he just wanted to advertise his 3 new directories by bragging about them on here instead of using the correct announcements thread. Do some of you actually believe his directories are doing great? I have another question that I am hoping somebody will answer. Why blow smoke up new directories owners backsides? Why not tell them the truth. His directories are considered MFA sites since they have more adsense ads than actual listings.

    Yeah i believe his are doing great, their doing better than mine i imagine, good luck to him, its none of your business how he has his directories though, if he wants to have ads or not is his choice, have you got a website to show that proves you do nothing wrong?

    Edit: I just looked at your other posts and your moaning in everyone of them.

    I think directories can do ok, have read posts before from someone with 100+ directories sells cheap links $2 to $5 each and does not make a fortune but does ok with SEO folks who are happy to pay the small price as the pages have some low PR.

    I think it is an interesting market as an SEO person I am happy to pay $2 to $5 a listing for relevant links in pages with some PR.

    DP is the reason some directories are made, and it's funny that its also the reason most are broken.

    you are exactly right, even on my bidding directory, www.biz-dir.biz, no pr, but still ppl bidding on it.

    That proves, ppl nowadays looking for traffics rather than pr.
