Hi, I'm interested to setup a directory for specific niche, but how to make money from the directory site? just adsense only?
right! there is too many spam type fake directories, and the google penalty... general web directory is die hard, head on niche directory!
Read this thread http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=254713 Its not easy to make money.. first you need to spend some
absolutely, please check around in the forums first before making new threads as they are not needed.... there is a great search tool, top of the screen called "SEARCH" cunningly enough.
Here is another excellent piece of advice http://ukseoforums.com/web_director...irectory_how_much_money_can_i_make-t28.0.html If you understand the whole idea you'll see that monetizing a web directory is not that easy
You are gonna be hard pressed relying on Adsense alone for income generation on a directory site. I would concentrate more on keeping a clean, quality, FRESH directory updated daily. Build it, maintain it, and stick with it.. The rest will come naturally. The main concern of any directory owner should be how to generate traffic, keeping things organized, and keeping listings fresh and current. If you do this right, your revenue will be generated by those that list with you.
i guess, its not that hard. need to put few hours every day, especially deleting SPAM web sites most of the time. but after 2-4 months you will start getting some money at least for the hosting cost and for little customisation. but it all depends on your dedication & experise .... so don't be disappointed, if you want you can do it. as all the current directory owners did not born with directories, every one started from scratch sorry guys don't mind; i too have 2 directories. Just do it man ...
