    Don't wait set high standards and go paid then promote and support 365/24/7

    The harder you work at your Directory the more luck you will have :)

    You don't need to work 365/24/7 to promote a directory lol :p Some guys are just addicted (britishguy :p ).

    And if you're tired to approve the links, you'd better close your directory.

    yes, you are right. but since I'm not a guy who has only this approval job... I have to work on another full-time job...

    I'm just thinking where the right way is for a directory to make money?

    All I can suggest is try it, but you may well find your submissions going from 100-per day to nil. This of course, isn't necessarily a bad thing.

    Stay with free one if you do not have much to spend, include time and money.

    I'd say go paid ASAP, maybe with a small regular fee and a higher featured one

    Doesn't everyone only bother with Adsense though?

    Pretty sure targeted affiliate links in the relevant pages would work. Have made them work in all the other areas where they've been used, so don't see why they wouldn't work here, once my directory is at a more busy and established stage.

    Don't mean just general links but targeted freebie links like to free UK brochures on the UK pages of it, and so on for all the nations.

    I would have to agree with that also, this will definitely cut down on the number of submissions that you have to approve and will also keep down the number of spam sites that you get.

    Can't give out all the secrets, but I was more just referring to featured listings in a free directory. :)
