Hi all, I recently started a new article directory http://www.FunduArticles.com I recieved several thousands of articles. But still this directory is getting very few hits from google search engine. Google is not indexing much pages of this article directory. Also, google is not approving the adsense account with reason 'not present original data'. I think the issue is same articles present on other sites. Google is dumping the article directories with duplicate data. So question is 'is it really worth to start a new article directory'? Or is there is any issue with http://www.FunduArticles.com directory?
I think it is a very competitive market, and personally would stick with a niche that is a less crowded. The article directory niche has a few massive players that get the majority of traffic.
You could have applied for the Google Adsense program using Blogspot, which is owned by Google. Develop one original blog using Blogspot and use it as your frontline in getting into the Adsense program. Once you are approved, you can spread your Adsense code to all your other websites, including that article directory which failed to win Google's approval.
