Hey, i have this domain that i really like and would like to make something with it. Atm i just use it to get email addresses to invite @ Lockerz.com, but im tired of it and want to make a directory of my domain. Its PR1, and has about 500 uniqe visitors/month. Domain: www.LOCKERZ.nu My idea is something like "Keep your links in our locker".. You guys thinks the idea can work? How do i earn most with directories? Sincerely Robin
The one big issue I see is that you will be trying to market two very different products/websites with the same name. While the branding idea of links in our locker isn't entirely bad, I think you'd be better off starting from scratch.
It sounds brandable but the .nu TLD might put people off. Like the others said, its better to start from a fresh one.
I don't think it's a good idea. Directory should have a very clear domain name, that states it is a directory. That's because otherwise people will think you have put a directory on it only to try get the most out of a dorpped domain name with PR that will soon drop. I wouldn't want to submit my website to a directory that may (to my limited knowledge) go down one month later. Just get a new idea for your domain and buy a new one for a directory if you want to start one.
My 2 cents on this issue. It's very difficult to make money with a Directory. Most people want free listings Webmasters who submit to directories already know what Ads look like so there's no money in advertising. A specialist niche Directory may work to get you some visitors. Good luck.
Dunno NU? Get a better domain...seriously. Preferably a .com...extension aside, Lockerz is known for something else (...) Good to see YMC Been ages...I got involved in a few projects and hardly ever visit this section anymore...
Personally I don't know why people bother with directories but if you want to go for it, then do it. But Lockerz doesn't sound great for a directory.
