    i am thinking of starting a new directory

    but only for sitemaps

    i already own the domain sitemapped.com

    do you think this would be a good idea

    Ask yourself the following questions:

    - Who would be your users and how many there are
    - How will this benefit them
    - Where do you get the money

    Then you have the answer.

    - potentially thousands of website owners
    - gets there sitemaps indexed more
    - either paid submissions only or adsense

    I don't think it would be a great traffic generating site. Search yourself that if there are many sitemap related sites or not. I guess all of them contacin same kind of tool. So....

    it won`t have any tools

    it would be a directory for submitting your completed sitemaps to

    It's not something that I as a web surfer would bookmark or use, but good luck with it.

    How about offering a tool that spiders a site and generates a site map?

    Don't ask anyone that how good this idea is!

    The Google owners didn't ask anyone that "is this good idea to start a search-engine called Google which will find related sites?"

    if they do.... everyone advise them" No its not a great idea" coz this idea is not there idea ;)

    So... you have domain ( a good domain ) and a plane... so Start creating it and then see... how much it works....

    I hope you get my Point!

    I would suggest menu titles to "Submit Sitemaps" "New Sitemaps", etc.
    Probably people (spammers) will still submit regular sites. Try to draw their attention as much as you can to the fact that your directory is for sitemaps only.

    I like it a lot. Seems like a good idea. You may need an instruction page that tells users that their sitemap URL goes in the URL field on the submission form. If you would like I'll give it a listing in GreenStalk. Just PM me the subcategory you would like created for it and the listing details.
