Xc06, thanks for the link, Imteaz, Ideadom, thank you for informative posts. Appreciate it! Sorry again guys, who get hurt because of my questions. Did not mean to hurt anyone.
I own around 50 directories but when giving paid listing, i choose sites based on quality for paid listing. I earn good money
It is actually a pretty knowledgeable thread. Will be looking forward to see how many people share their income
Thank you very much again for answers!! From what you, guys, say, i assume that paid listing can give the best profit (of course, when directory is strong and famous)...
I have a directory on which I have n't been able to give much time but still able to make $40-$50 every month with it
Thank you for your response, Anilg! If i can ask, is it from paid submissions or ad/affiliate networks or both? Please don't reply, if you think i want to know too much
I think thats depent on you to how much effort you have putted on your directory, and where is the matter of this question... you are right if somebody think that this question is very rude to them then they should just ignore this thread thats it. Thanks
WHY should people ignore the post? Try walking into a room full of people playing poker and ask them how much they make gambling, will they just ignore you? Some will, and somebody will probably knock you out. How can replies to a thread like this be useful? Some have replied with earnings, but they are arbitrary figures. What if I say I make $1000 per week, sounds good, but how much of that is profit? If I'm earning that but promoting at $1100 doesn't sound so good. Nobody serious about starting a business would ask such a question, and even though you might not like some of the negative replies those are the ones from people experienced in the industry and your potential peers who have the wealth of experience to help you if you ask nicely.
Well I also agree that its not a good question to ask someone how much he/she earns but I also agree to the statement "Is it so hard just to ignore this thread instead of bad-mouthing?". Guys be cool.
A very few people earn through the dirs, like mygreencornor, they have good enough income to earn through directories
This is one of those questions that you just don't ask. It is similar to asking a woman how much money she spends monthly on tampons when you are on your first date with her. It's just a plain no no...
First I see someone comparing free directory scripts to giving away free guns and now someones simple question about monthly income on a directory site compared to asking a lady about how much she spends a month on tampons. Only at DP -
Fwiw, at this point the OP is bound to know the question wasn't popular, and if he doesnt... beating him further probably won't change that. I'm not a directory owner, I'm a contractor for a big directory. I manage editors and work on editing and taxonomy, etc. I do get paid, and my accountant informs me that I could retire now & live comfortably for the rest of my life, provided I die before the 15th. Hope this information proves helpful.
