Hi: I would like to know if you are really selling featured links. If you say YES, how many and what is your PR?
Featured Listing will always sell on quality directories All products whether on the net or elsewhere ie the street, the store etc will sell if the service is representative of the cost to buy, and the buyer get value added benefits that justify the purchase cost Our directory is PR5 and we sell featured listings every day
Ive sold one so far, youll notice people buy them more after your category gets fille up and they dont want to be on second page
I sell lifetime featured listings for $4.20 and some categories have filled up (10 per category). My directory is currently PR 0 so it seems plausible to say that folks like featured listings. Additionally, with the outset of a new directory offering cheap listings as LIFETIME I think it is possible to sell out the featured listings.
Thanks for all your replies I have clarified some things right now. By the way: Do you sell anual links or lifetime links? Is not risky sell lifetime links? I mean you never now where will you be in the next 10 years...
Selling links and buying links for a longer timeline can be evaluated in many ways but for example:- 1) A link is 20USD Per Year and you are offered the same permanent link say for 100USD, then in relation to buyer value you get your investment back in 5 years so your ROI is realized and your 6th year onwards is at no cost 2) Business people usually make all their investments based on the ROI model 3) Being in business from the 'get go' is a risk, but no business whether it fails or succeeds is without risk, but without risk and speculation you have no business anyway as the business will be 'down the can' anyway, so you have to speculate (invest) to accumulate if you want to succeed 4) If the link is in a directory with continuous revenue streams, then the directory has a valuable resale value so assuming the said revenue is maintained then in 10 years time the directory will be still online on the net 5) Directory links in quality directories will give continued added value to the listing buyers period, as their is always a place to accommodate a quality product in any vertical market sector Hope that addresses part of your questions Many intepretations to your questions will be valid and informative
My directory is PR4 and I sell featured listings there for yearly basis not lifetime links. Only lifetime links offers for Regular Listings.
