    Hey Guys,

    I want to make a bit more money out of my directory it has 2500 links- www.everythingreduced.net

    The last couple of days i've had around 100 unique visitors per day and sold 4 featured links at $4.95 each...

    all other links are free at the moment, should i charge for all links???

    if so how much would be reasonable?

    idk, you have a quality directory..submitted awhile back; I think it's important to have free and paid this way you get to build up your directory while also making some cash. If it gets to the point where you can't review em all or too much trash than I would say make em paid.

    Perhaps make featured links $10 or something....

    its hard switching from free to paid. Perhaps you should have started as a paid...

    I wrote an article on Directory Kit about it. You can read it here.

    Hope that this helps you. ;)
