Help on starting a new directory

Okay, i have finally decided to start a new directory.. a plain link directory.

But i have a few questions lingering in my head, that im really confused about.

* In DP Directory solicitations forum, i see alot of people offering links for free. How does that help ? How would me linking to people and people NOT linking to me (reciprocals) would help in SERPS ?

* At first, why would people submit to my directory if i have no PR ?

* Which domain should i choose for my directory ? I have a few options (domains which i own)

1) you get traffic and content for your directory
2) because it's free
3) Web-Directory.ws looks good

 

Thanks for the help, both of u..

Great link, repped u for ur effort.

Yeah, web-directory.ws looks good to me too thanks .

 

1) Always a good idea to start a new directory for free to fill in the empty categories with content.
2) Traffic.
3) I like Link-Directory.ws although Web-Directory.ws sounds good.

 

1) There are lots of web directories not worth submitting to, however with some time and hard work you can achive quite much with your web directory; just have some faith. Fill in the categories with good resources and that should definitely do the trick!

2) Traffic; a submitter doesn't look at PR as the main factor, there's much more for example, a web directory tends to help you on SERPs and not to mention it may drive, targeted traffic to your web site! PR is nothing compared to traffic.

3) Web-Directory.ws -- should also help you rank very well on the keyword "Web Directory" with some basic SEO.

1. Because they want traffic and also that is a good way of filling up categories.
2. Getting a free backlink is always good and just takes a few secs.
3. This is a good one : Link-Directory.ws

 

Thanks for the input.. reps to u all..

 

A new directory offers free links to fill categories and get the pages indexed with search engines. When your site grows and PR increases you then can charge and/or demand a reciprocals.

Likewise, over time other directories will start charging for submissions as they grow. Submitting to these directories while they're free mean securing the opportunity of getting a free link in what could be a higher PR paid directory later.
In short - submitting to PR0 directories could be viewed as a investment.

 

i'm new at this. why are people still creating new directories?

There seems like so many, that i don't understand why one more is good?

 

Are you plan running web directory or bidding directory.??
