I am thinking of putting Google adsense ads in my directory will it help?

Unless you get thousands of visitors per day from search engines then steer well clear of adsense IMO.

 

Yes If get thousands of visitors it is possible I think so

I am working on the idea of a editor(a goole adsense publisher) google ads will e displayed when he refers some one the site

 

I tried that, but the results were not very different...
Also putting a small banner at the "bottom" is no good as the CTR will be very poor and I'm not sure if someone would like to utilise their time for that low an amount...

The best way would be to start it on your own, and some friends may be. Then when it gets PR, and an importance, (SEO and otherwise), open up for editors. That will keep the integrity, and solve your purpose as well.

JEET

I am talking about a directory that like D..z

Since ia m in the process of creating categories now

I am thinking of an affilate program that If a editor(by a referral link) refers visitors to our site his Google ads would be displayed

I think this model would work out as they do not ant any work to be done like content creation and they can earn extra money if they just refer visitors to my site

 

CTR for directory will be way too low same as other web serving webmaster.

 

Yes I agree with it

 

That's exactly what I thought when I wrote that first post.
A simple refer link, someone clicks it, come to your "directory", see ads which have the editors G pub who referred. I tried that, didn't work well...
I'm not talking about the "article site" in my signature, it was a different "directory site"...

I totally understand that you have a DM_Z like structure in mind. That's why I said that start it on your own, with some friends may be. Let it pick some PR, some human "browse" value, and then open invitations for editors. Once it has a start, and some value, (seo or otherwise), people will be happy to join in and help in the development. And at that time you will have better reasons than G ads for people to join in...

I am thinking about putting google adsense on my directory site. Would this make some webmasters not want to exchange links with my site. Or purchase a listing.

 

Can't speak for everyone, but I don't have problems exchanging links with ads, or without ads. Others might have their own preferences...
As far as purchasing a listing is concerned, I am sure people use other factors to judge a directories potential other than the ads being used on the directory.

BTW, your question might look similar, but is kind of a little off topic from what this thread is about. You will get better response in your own thread, if you start one.

I have taken off adsense from my directories...Better to be careful. Thanks, man.
