    Hello, I run a few websites, I optimize sites and offer SEO copywriting services. I bought FreelanceSEOPros.com. I know that there are a lot of talented freelancers out there and they do not charge crazy prices for their work.

    My plan is to build a good looking website, 50 pages- a page for each state- that would include a list of SEO freelancers. I would include the person's name, website, contact info and 4 lines of whatever info you that was relevant at a very minimal cost.

    The site would not have adds or blinking anything, just a classy looking site with all the info and naturally each page would be optimized.

    So what do you think? Bad Idea or good idea? You can go to my site and see some of my work.

    It's a very good idea, but there is a very small chance you will get people to pay for a listing without demonstrating you can drive traffic. You can't do this, of course, unless you have a full site. Common directory Catch-22.

    A better idea would be to list everyone for free and fill up the site. I would then monetize with AdSense. Once I got some traffic, I would offer the SEOs better placement for a fee or by submitting articles. Also offer them each a free details page to generate more free content.

    Good luck,
    Ty

    How about this, If you charge in the beginning, hold contests in the beginning?
