I have a search portal/directory project. It's a directory, with custom script, where links submitting is free. It should be similar to yahoo portal. Anyway, the search engine that it will have will quote the results put in the directory, so it has chances to become someone But why I posted that....Do you think it's worthy or not?
its worth a try... the main thing you will to succeed on (other than content) is the marketing/ advertising so make sure you have press releases and all that sorted and good luck... i hope it works for you
You need a good administrative panel to review sites and a good antispam system to be competitive. Then its worth a try.
