BungeeBones.com provides its web directory script free for installation on any quality content site. Once installed, the script imports its categories and links from BungeeBones so the directory is filled with quality sites right out of the box. BungeeBones also supplies free management and reviews every submitted link before it is allowed to go live. All links that join from the newly installed directory go to BungeeBones central server. Once reviewed, they are immediately available for all the other remote web directory installations. While the system offers free and paid links, any links that join as paid links result in commissions to the procuring site for the entire time that link remains paying. The idea is simple. Each installed web directory advertises all the links. The traffic that the entire system generates is the sum total of all the installations. The advertising value of being on all those sites is greater than being on just one. Each location can sell advertising spots for the system. Each installation is both a portal in for traffic and a sales kiosk of the traffic.
If you ever operated a web directory you would quickly learn there is a fair amount of work involved. First, new listings submitted by potential users need their websites inspected to make sure they represent what their descriptions say and that they fit the category they are entered into. Then, because websites come and go, regular monitoring for broken or dead sites need to be performed. Lastly (and this is quite a different service because of the nature of BungeeBones) we maintain an educational and support service for those advertising where we advise them on when and where it is profitable to move their listing up in the display order by paying. Since the income generated this way is shared with the hosting site when we promote paid ads we are, in effect, helping to market their web traffic.
