    This site http://www.gtsee.com was run since 2006, and it offers online automatic directory

    submission services, while site http://directory.gtsee.com was run the same time, and is a PR3 phpld

    version directory.

    The http://www.gtsee.com offers online directory submission services. Users don't need to install any

    software, just use the web browsers. By filling their site information, making payment and then the

    software will automatically run the submission services to thousands of directories.

    Maximum income for the directory submission service was $1100/month, and in 2008, total income was

    around $8000, in 2009 around $5000, in 2010 around $3000. The reason of the income kept dropping was

    due to lack of maintainance, and since this year, due to no time to maintain the site, the income is

    just around $100/month.

    To make money from the directory submission service, it shall take around 10-20hrs/month to maintain

    the directories in the database, and spend some time regulary to do some free promotion. If it's

    regularly maintained and promoted, around $500/month shall be no problem.

    The site is hosted on hostmonster, and there was $30 or $60 ad cost on google adwords every month for

    the directory submission service.

    Global Tsee Directory, http://directory.gtsee.com, runs by the paid version of phpld, it's PR3 for

    since 2008, and the highest PR is PR4. It charged users $2.99 for featured links, and free for normal

    and reciprocal links. Since I made a personalized template for the directory, average income was $75

    -$100/month, and still keeps increasing. The only time you shall spend on this directory now is to

    approve featured links.

    The directory submission software was written by PERL language, and fully owned by gtsee.com. You can

    have a look of an actual submission process by visiting this link: http://www.gtsee.com/cgi-bin/nph-

    dirsub.pl?invoice=invoices/merchant_invoice_457323

    Now due to turned to other business and have no time on these 2 sites, I'm going to sell these

    business.

    Sorry, wrong typing of the traffic. Page loads for the 2 sites are around 40k, and IPs 12k per month. Traffic stats for directory.gtsee.com are from statcounter, and gtsee.com from google analytics. Data for directory is only available before Mar of this year, since statcounter suspend tracking due to exceed limit size.
