I have seen a few posts with the word "idea" that I decided to do the same. Here I go - I know promoting directory is important part, but not everyone has all the resources needed to do this task. Even if you have the money, there are some methods that money cant buy. Why not create a group and share our ideas to promote our directories? For example, many of us use avatar to advertise. If we agree to advertise one directory with our avatars one day or for certain period per member, it will help you a lot to spread the word about your directory. I have other ideas to promote, but I would like to know if there is an interest to create such a group. The best part with this business is that we are not competing with each other. If you're willing to participate, please let me know. I only need ONE person to create the group then we can start working on how to attract more members. .
Check out www.directory-owners.com - this might give you some ideas and a more specific location to discuss yours and other peoples ideas...
Sounds too complicated for me I'm a simple guy and want all my avatar and sig links for myself, however if anyone who's active on directory forum has any real estate, let me know.
- Such groupings exist they are forums. And even though there is lots of business out there for everyone, directories do compete for listing dollars. I do agree that some type of directory association would be nice to focus attention on the value of directories in general.
i'd say it can be a good idea for new directories to help each other, but for etablished and strong directories, there is no interest they have the money to buy all Digitalpoint avatars for several years
