Different fee for differnet categories mod

Discussion in 'Directories' started by mywebsearches, Jun 2, 2007.

    I searched around for a mod that would let you ask a different fee for each category.

    If there is one, please let me know. If not is this possible?

    Of all the mods created, I think this one would be one of the most valuable mods to have available for your directory.


    I visited so many directories and I did not submit my listing because the price was too high for certain categories. With this mod, owner could ask a different fee for a less popular category.

    So what's you opinion?

    I wouldn't be interested in this mod, if a category is unpopular the submitter has the advantage of submitting a regular knowing their site is likely to remain on the first page.

    My opinion is submit to real time directories. Dont worry about the fees if you really are serious. There are a lot of FAIR Priced Directories out there you have to visit more. If your looking for $3-$5 then its not gonna work. :) Just my 2 cents.

    I personally like this mod, especially when a directory opens new categories.

    It seems fair for buyers. I know it's not all about PR ;) But the mod can be basically use for "promotional offer" for newly opened categories.

    I thought this could be the next "hot" mod. We'll see.

    Is not about price is about options to offer to your customers and paying for quality links would not be a problem for me whether it is a $1000 or $5. In my case it is important and adds value to my customers, visitors, and my directory.

    There are good benefits that this mod could offer and it doesn't have to be price related.

    In regards to mywebsearches, there is more than you cant see. Why take on my new directory? I don't even need this mod for this one.

    Not exactly. I would like to have the option to set certain prices for each category specially the top level, but I don't know how difficult it is to create something like that.

    One option would be to set a price for top level > Second Level > Third Level > and so on.

    It's more like going to the right category before clicking the submit button, but in this case is about the fee for that category.

    Right now you can submit your listing almost from everywhere and the price will be the same for all categories.

    Surely you know.
    The mod for this could be so easy to code for phpld but really I do not find it a good idea :)
    There's already a mod for CATEGORY SPONSORSHIP that lets having different price for each single category. It's not so big difference.
    Will not tell you where to find it :D

    CATEGORY SPONSORSHIP is a great mod, but it doesn't work in my case. Also sponsorship is different than just submitting a regular listing.

    Instead of having to answer questions about how much to be on certain categories, they will know by just going to the category in question and they will not send me an email me back asking why the listing was moved to a lower level category.

    Yep I didn't say it's same - maybe similiar... (both are links to category).
    Please do not use words: doesn't work as I don't remember it was installed on your dir.
    It must work when I install it. Maybe you should say rather - it's not what I want...

    I also said it's preety easy to have it as you described.
    I was thinking and maybe even you are right. Some categories are not so popular, so why don't to give a chance submitters to have a link in lower price. Other categories are PR ranked higher, other lower....
    But we should also remember it can all change after G update.

    I understand your point, I try to be more selective with my words to not confuse others. Of all the mods mentioned none of them offer WHAT I WANT.

    The most hard to code I see categories selector on submit page.
    WHen user changes category the price should also be changed...
    Even this can be done I'm sure.
    Can be like in CATEGORY SPONSORSHIP where for each single category you can set different price in Admin while editing category.

    Currently I'm finisihing new one (preety useful), so next can be your idea.

    Deep Links Reloaded

    it's ok, you can let them know who's making the MOD ;)

    Actually, it was suppose to be started and finished today, but like dargre says, time is always an issue, and while he only has 1 wife, I have half a dozen women, so imagine the strain on me!
