Directories are making good money due to the strength of the market


Please post comments about this sale :-

 

Awesome, that is really good news for the directory industry. Looks a very basic site but worth delving into further with many listings and easy to navigate and find things there.

 

Actually directories are once again making their worth in the market.

 

I think this shows there is a bright future for niche directories that work hard to be become an authority on one particular topic.

My own view is that the future is less bright for general directories.

Niche is the future

 

I have to agree with you on this, my general directory is holding it's own but my new niche directory is fast outrunning my general directory in daily uniques 4-1 and it's only a few weeks old.

I've been kicking around the idea of a niche bidding directory, but I'm not convinced yet.

I have no doubts though that the directory industry has a very bright future for those who think outside the box.

 

This is a very good sale indeed, who was the original owner of the directory?

 

I agree they are very good resource...

 

awesome man , its like a good product would always sell for a good price.

 

Awesome && inspiring!!

its a resource which well deserves a good price!

M.

 

Site isn't bad to deserve the price

Nice site and nice sale

 

congrats to the directory owner! the price is well worth the directory!
cheers!

 

Totally agreed.
Great deal ,the price is definitely well worth the directory

 

Oops, the directory is PR 5, not PR 7 like it says in the SP sales thread. Thread was probably made before the update.
$10,000 for a PR 5 free directory . . . Wow!

 

$10k for PR7 would have been dirt cheap price!!!

PR5 is not bad too, with the work done on that and its maintainance.. after all maintaining a free directory isn't easy!

 

I think that the directory is worth more and must be making some really cool money ! Directories will always rock, thanks for sharing.

Thats the way to go keep this category positive because we are in a booming niche sector and we need to work together to market our sector effectively and cohesively
