BIG MONEY - If you make $30K a year with your directory - You are Indian, you are the richest guy on your town - You are American, you can live with that - You are British, you will probably starve
Can you back-up your claims with facts? Are you referring to FREE directories and earning from AdSense? Google for the Keyword-- Web Directory -- and try to find the ranking Aviva directory. Google for the keyword - Business Directory -- and Find Aviva Directory . Save Alive and BOTW, Uncoverthenet --for the term web directory -- and put the earnings of the rest together. I think Aviva's revenue will be higher than the rest within TOP 20. For example -- I just checked -- www.maxlinks.org -- which ranks -#2 on Google for the Keyword web directory -- and FOUND -- It just had 7 listings since 1st July --till 10th July. So if you are going for PR5 and high SERPs -- you will earn -----very little------- Get --$10K budget -- buy 10 PR8 links pointing to your directory with 10 anchor words -- and see ur ranking after 10 days. Normally those 10 PR8 links are supposed to give you minimum PR7. But believe me -- you will rank very high on SERPs -- but won't get more than PR6 -- that has now become standard for directories. These days PR of 6+ is almost impossible. But with investment and wise SEOing SERPs is very much possible.
