    I am running a directory in http://www.belmos.com. Visitors are submitting regular links not paid links in my directory.

    what about your directories, do peoples buying paid links, if yes then how many a day.

    Unless you’re offering a good quality product people will not purchase it. You are offering a basically empty directory that looks like thousands of others. Why would anybody want to pay to be in it?

    People on the Internet tend to prefer free stuff. If you offer free regular links, they will go for it. But if you're offering pay-for-review links, then they will consider the quality of your directory before paying. The bottom line is to build a quality directory first, before you think of people rushing in to submit links.

    Times are hard and the recession has people clutching on to their money more than ever. If I were you, I wouldn't expect too much cash flowing in regardless of how good or bad a directory is...

    I can agree with this. We have been getting a few car dealerships as of late and also from the previous subscriptions 1-2 years ago which is a welcome surprise ;)

    I think we got 6 months to one year before the economy kicks back in and things start picking up again... time will tell :cool:

    If you offer quality directories for people,
    They are willing to pay for submission.
