Directory or Link Bid Directory?

This question has been boggling me for days and I need to know which one is better and generates the best results as far as income and traffic.

Do you prefer a standard directory or a link bid? and what are the benefits to a link bid.

Thanks!

 

At one time, bidding directories looked like they were generating a fair amount of imcome rather quickly but now not the case.

Id go for a standard type directory, still more difficult with those too now.

I know because i dont remember my last paid submission to mine.

 

Thanks pipes, that answer will do just fine with me

 

- I respectfully disagree. I operate Both types of directories (bidding directories and non-bidding directories). Without a doubt, my bidding directories Have, and Continue-to-be Much More profitable (compared to my non-bidding directories).

- I also receive Much Less spam submissions to my bidding directories (compared to my non-bidding directories).

 

That I understand tensmar about the bidding becoming a great profit "depending on where you advertise at" and also with the spam, this is true as well if you're allowing FREE listings with a nofollow attribute and you're not listing it there to let people know that it is and they just apply with auto submitting scripts.

Also using a captcha image does help (A LOT) with toning the spam down. I haven't received not one submission for free listings on my directory since I have made it and advertised it as it does have a free listing with a nofollow and it's stated there with a link of NoFollow? (New Window) right beside it to let people know that their site will (NOT) be shown or listed in the Google search engine.

Thanks for the replies.

 

Well said, pipes.

 

I agree with your comment specially the last sentence.

try the normal directory, after that setup a new for bidding directory.. run it... take your own experience...for me, it depend with your own marketing method.. if you running normal directory but you good in marketing you will receive what you want...
