I need some help with my new business plan. I want to set up a new website directory, let me guide you through what I intend to do. Buy a PR3/PR4 Domain Name - Install PHP Link Directory. Sell links for $1 per submission. Do you think people will buy submissions for $1?
they might buy them, but why should they buy on your site? there are so many directory out there. i would not try to build a business on it. if you plan to start one, don't use the standard scripts. try to make is special, that can be done with drupal, for example. find a new way of that idea and you might be successful. specializing in a niche directory might help you stand out es well. but the site should contain of more than just the directory.
I wouldn't, no. Just because the domain itself is PR 3 or 4, it doesnt mean that that's the backlink the person buying a submission would get. The link would go in a sub-page and not be shown on the homepage, therefore its just a backlink, not a PR 3 / 4 backlink.
Directories website? No ..Too many in market and I think is not good idea get in to this now.. "I suggest why not you going make a website/blog review. Base on your credibility, judge others website/blog give them star/ point etc..awarding them" I'm bloggers and love to pay to competent website, good profile e.g example - List Blogs Paris Hilton she love so much and this is her review..LOL" I believe thousand bloggers and webmasters come to your site, paying you for your review and hope their get 5 star, points, good rank etc..from your awarding system. In another word you just create dummy for Oscar The Academy Awards
