    I have 2 directories with PR - one PR6, the other PR2. Both have PR on the homepage and PR0 on all subpages. PR is a bastard - especially because n00bs 'rate' a site on its PR, therefore will pay to get a link from a page with PR as opposed to PR0. Hence why I offer 'site of the day' on my directories :D

    Good luck to you, the directory world really isn't as easy as some people may think.

    your success is so good ... did you forget to mention that you are ripping my templates by removing sponsor links ....

    You kept in the second one and that is only because it is an image and due to your lack of skills you couldn't remove it because it wouldn't look good. And it was because of people like you I went and added the image.


    Success .... where is it ?? Self promotion is all what I see

    So your investments may be great, but in your country, as with such directories I wouldn't earn enough to buy food for my dogs. :D
    Oops, seems that was my faux pas, forgot in China it is opposite - dogs are food!

    I earn minimal from directories, but it seemed an easier earning than Adsense.

    People do that all the time though, just got to take peoples word for it ;) i also see lots of self promotion and small groups that pat each other on the back but nobody complains about that.

    Smub if you write something in a blog then start a thread to get people to click through to it to get you some traffic thats self promotion too, its not ok for one lot of people to do it and not some others.

    Hes not broke any laws, good for anyone if they make some cash.

    Yeap, besides, it is not any outrageous claim, the OP was just saying that he made some good money from directories and not saying he made $X XXX XXX etc. When a member makes money, we feel happy for him, I think it is common. I would prefer giving others a pat on the back rather than a slap on the face.

    When I start a blog post, I only post here the ones that I think people could possibly use. If I start posting every single blog post I have then it would be considered spamming. The guy just came out blantly saying ... Here are my 3 directories and I am making good money from them. Half the people went ahead congragulating him without even realizing the guy is stealing templates...

    I guess it is ok in your world to congragulate someone who steals but I think in my world if you rob a bank or steal anything that gaines you profit I wouldn't congragulate you.

    Just so you know, im not condoning any stealing, i only read about that this morning, i agree thats out of order, i didn't know he had done that.

    Regarding congratulating, my own ignorance, i dont always have the time to notice all the little things, you spotted it, probably because you create templates too so are keeping an eye on stuff like that.

    It is just an honest oversight on pipes end. No one will condone such copying, I had already advised him on an earlier thread just to get some of the free ones available.

    I remember the time when I had a free directory. I had around 150 uniques daily, and my G Ads where not "skilfully" placed near the submit button or so...they were just normal (not abusive).

    My daily average was 1$. My biggest earnings in a day was 3,59$.
    So I wonder what is your average in a day for your 3 free directories...

    Oh well, we all have done a few bad things in the past, but it is always professional to acknowledge the work of others.

    Most of the active directory owners also have manual directory submission services and I guess that's how they are making the money. Directory is just a way to get the word out to webmasters :)
