    How does yahoo directory looks like?

    Since I got my directory site up 3 mths ago, I have earned about $150 already, thanks to donation and featured process even though the submission is free.

    It gets about 3-5 submissions daily and as high as 10+.

    it's hard to say how much you're going to earn, and nobody will tell you how much he earns because it's a question that is not to be asked. Try to concentrate more on your website and not think so much about money, money comes with fame and autority.

    A great deal of money can be made from a real directory. Like any successful business you have to have the financial backing to invest in it to brand and market it. It also requires years of hard work and the knowledge to operate a directory. You will never make money with a cheap script on cheap hosting and advertising on forums.

    i think you can only make good money if your directory have pr5 or higher and internal pages have pr 3 or more.

    otherwise people don't bother.

    Wrong, PR has nothing to do with successful directory operation.

    It is all about money and luck.

    Just like CBS, they bought CNet for $1.8billion for those names and redo the site.

    agree PR doesn't matter for directory listings, traffic does, and quality visitors traffic searching for something they actually can find in that directory.

    It really depends on the niche you choose and the amount of work you are willing to invest.

    I've got niche directories making good money, and general directories making next to nothing.

    adsense on directories is not recommended IMO
    it doesn't bring good cash and make the directory look cheap

    usually who will list a site in a directory is a person who knows about link building, especially when he's going to invest money in it. so what's good about directory is not the traffic, but the reputation, correct pr and link power.
    traffic from a directory is not important at all, who ever lists his site in a directory does it fro seo purpose and his main goal is to deliver traffic from SE and not directories.
