Hi, I just put up a new Google Knol titled: Why Owning a Web Directory Sucks and am looking for feedback on the over all look and feel of the page. thanks in advance for your help!
Thanks for looking ctrader but honestly don't NOT start a directory because of the article. In fact start one but this way you will have some insight into the potential pitfalls so you can be more prepared. I also confess that I still own a few directories including the first one in the second line of my signature
jg, great point. a lot of people think that starting a directory is going to be a great way to make money quickly because you can charge for submissions but people overlook the amount of work and time which goes into actually maintaining such a system.
kidsko, Selling in a multi billion $ niche if there are no directory maybe its worth making your own.
