    i want to build and promote 100 free to submit general directory.

    is it possible to manage for 1 person to manage 100s of directory.

    is there a directory script that simplify the hard job.. like managing all the directories from one control panel.. or may be very easy to install and manage


    which directory script i should go for

    and how much ppl needed to manage 100 free to submit general all purpose directories..


    hope only experience persons reply here.

    You can hire someone to create 100 directories.Managing can be done personally, managing 15 per day is not a hard task.I can do creation for you.PM me if interested.

    Your kidding right? Why a 100, things like this are destroying any credibility the directory industry has. Do one and be good at it.

    So, you want to create 100 sites that will have the same categories with the same listings in the same order (which is what you would have with central management) and you think this is actually a viable idea?

    Have you run even one directory before? Most everyone here started with one directory, learned the ins and outs of running this type of site and then made decisions based on experience rather than a few answers in this forum.

    Why do you want so many directories? What is your basic goal?
    Thank you

    It's impossible for one person to adequately manage 100 free directories.

    I suggest you start one free directory and announce it to the various directory lists. After you are slammed with submissions, you will see how difficult it is to keep up with reviewing free submissions.

    Good luck

    snobird is right, once they are out, submission of website will increase like rocket. And if don't give time to it, it will start to be pending and later it will lose its worth. Select quality websites, which will be few. If you do this correctly, you can earn much more from one directory than 100 ones.

    Good luck

    That's right. Free directories get good number of submissions after announcing on forums. We do have some people in DP who are running 100s of directories but if you just see the directories you will know the quality.

    Setting up 100s of free directories will make you a few quick dollars that won't last. Google will kill your business model either by closing your adsense account or by removing your visible PR from the toolbar.

    Take the same time and effort and put it into a few quality directories and you'll make a lot of dollars that will continue for years.

    It's hard to get rich quick. It's easy to get rich slow.

    yeah, but for a spammer it is easier to build 100 crap directories and wait for the submitters to fall on the trap.

    True, but most submitters are smart enough to use disposable E-mail accounts. I doubt its a very responsive mailing list anyway.

    No.

    Plain and simple. How can you add content, review sites, rewrite descriptions and titles in 100 directories?

    If you get 50 submissions a day, at minimum that'll be 5000 links to review a day.

    Now I suppose you're going to tell me they'd all use the same database or you'd just go into phpmyadmin and bulk approve? :D

    I dont think so you can manage 100 directories for your own. Making 100 directories of same theme is not a good idea.

    You want 5 to 6 people to handle the website. How can u review , add content and maintain directories


    And if you are Setting up 100s of free directories for earning money with the help of google adsense it will make you a few quick dollars but Google will analyse your concept and destroy your business model either by closing your adsense account or by removing your visible PR from the toolbar.

    Cheers

    Yes. If your host gives you WHM or cpanel with addon domains.

    i can hire 5-6 ppl to manage the websites

    i give a d**m to adsense.. i dont need such joke there..

    no i know i can add unlimited domain in whm or cpanel with addon domains..

    but each directory will have its own admin panel or admin.php?

    what i want is a central control panel to see those 5000 links a day.. and approve disapprove them..

    possible? or i have to give my employees 20 control panel login each

    what about the ips.. do i need multiple c-class ips for this thing to work? i mean will google just drop my directories seeing all are hosted in same host ..

    Yes you will need multiple IPs. Each directory should have its own admin panel.

    Gotta love how people come here for advice and promptly ignore all of that advice.

    Hey, surf, when you get ready to launch, please post a list so we know which sites are yours.
