    Hi there,
    I have a pretty good domain for a directory (at least I think so :rolleyes: ) it's www.avuedirectory.com

    Do you think this is worth turning into a directory? I have never done one before... and I would like suggestions on how to start it.

    Should I charge for regular listing? Or just featured? Or none?

    If so.. how much? for how how many months???


    Got to love newbie questions.... but I don't want to over charge people for nothing? You know...


    We'll any input is appreciated!

    Linda

    Charge low $x for regular listing and high $x for a featured. Can work good.

    What honey said...

    Regular links should be permanent. Featured could be for 1 year.

    IMO, $3 for regular link, $5 for featured link.
    $10 for sitewide link.

    Start low with paid links, offer free recip links to build your own link popularity

    PR isnt a criteria at all. It should be ok if you get PR3/4 at the start. Infact most visitors coming to your site come with different backgrounds, and look for submitting to quality directory.

    Just work on building a quality directory and dont expect to make money overnight. Once your directory starts off it is worthy to charge for paid ones.
    Good luck!

    Sitewide links can be easy placed in the footer. Or use a template that has sitewide links. (i.e. SubmissionDesk) ;)
