    Yahoo directory makes well over hundred million dollars a year.

    Alot of directories make over a million a year.

    About how far I have succeeded, lol, not even close.

    1) In which year you started?

    2006 - been a few months now
    I started my first directory on a subdomain in order to build more pages for my primary websites as i had heard that the more pages you have, the better google treats you

    Then i joined IVS and got addicted

    2) How many do you have now at the moment? {alive}

    15 and 20/30 more coming in the very near future

    3) Are you really making money out of them as you wished?

    Till now i only had free directories and now i am starting a directory network and my first premium paid directory, so hope to make some money in this niche

    I was doing directory submissions for last one+ year. Lately around 6 months back I decided to have my own dirs. Finally I got 32 directories.

    When i joined the forum in september, i was amazed to see lot of Alive and aviva signature links. Then slowly started looking at DP directories forum.. Still talk about aviva and alive only :eek:

    Then I decided to do some experiment, acquired a nice 4 letter domain and built a directory.

    1) In which year you started? late 2006

    2) How many do you have now at the moment? 3

    I got into this business some months ago, with my partner, who has been in here for much longer.
    I saw a good potential on this market so I decided to invest some time and money to it.
    It is going well untill know. Not disappointed at all.

    I started submitting my sites to directories, and thought 'hey I can do this' So I made a few. I'm happier now after 6 months I can mostly pay for my promotions from income, but still a long way from making a profit.
