uttoransen without mods and templates most folks won't bother submitting and it will take you around 6 months to build up page rank, so you are better off spending a few bucks on getting a free template customized and getting a couple of nice mods installed. Potential submitters will see you are serious about your directory and hopefully submit and you can use that money to buy links.
ya, perhaps you are right! may be i should put up a nice template first! my programmers have told that they will do it, right now they are busy on my another project which will be launched in 10 day time, so the directories have to wait for some time, but then after that, i will put full concentration on the directories!
At the time WoW was started it was a fairly modest amount. I know others who have invested considerably more.
Holy Crap Dude! YOU have a very nice & UNIQUE looking directory! Your tutorial on how to submit a link--GENIUS! Did you create that yourself? (I should be using that on mine)
The audio visual submission tutorial was my idea but I had it made by my web designer. The 800 number customer service calls were reduced by 60%.
The amont invested is irrelevent, the question should be "are you getting results from what you have invested so far".
I've spent about $300 just recently on http://www.spongyweb.com just buying wp theme sponsorships Have bought tons of links in the past, can't remember the total cost.
Invested good enough and still investing for directorytyoon and weblinkhouse. Also investing most of time in it
I would hazard to say that the investment never stops especially with directories. I don't have a directory myself but do submit and monitor directories quite frequently. If you stop investing your PR starts dropping ever so slowly and drags your soul with it
