A question to owners of paid web directories. Did the number of submission requests to your paid directories change for the last time in view of today's economic crisis? Did the crisis have any influence on the income You get from your directories?
The economy in general is hurting all internet businesses. Directories on the other hand have a multitude of issues affecting them. At this point it’s a wait and see situation for the directory industry. My personal opinion is we will basically roll back to what we were prior to the link buying frenzy.
Yes directories and others has been affected to some extent but because of this people won't stop browsing..So we have to concenrate on those things that would enable us to stick around in this recession period. For e.g sites like proxies are always has a good earning opportunity
I have been maintaining consistent income with my paid directories and no significant changes to that due to the current economy thus far. Still, it does not hurt to prepare for the worst.
Providing those school kids can give us our 30 cents/day, we can always feed the family in this hard time
