    Wondering and trying to get at some numbers regarding the age of a directory and how long it stays with same owner.

    To start off i got h-log.com since 2006, same with sbclansite.com (it however did get a database wipeout once due to spam issues) both been running since 2006.

    Thats like 3 Years give or take .

    What about you guys and your directories ?

    I put up a general directory as a "proof of concept" in 2005 with a directory script. Then spent the next year writing custom software for my first niche directory which went up in 2006.

    Ok so average is about 3 years, how many of you guys want to get rid of their directories ? Plans on selling them ?

    What sort of revenue have your directories created for you ?

    Well i think both of mine have provided me with atleast 1500 $ revenue or more so .. But running cost over 2 years i think has been around 300 or 400$ !
