Let's do it together and create our own PR8 directory

    Hi all,

    This is my idea. We all work very hard to create the best directory out there. And we all dreaming on the day we will have PR7, PR8 web directory. As you know it is not easy.

    So I though together we can do it. My idea is simple but powerful :)
    100 directories owners (PR4+ with inner pr) will create one directory. Each one will hold 1% of it, and in return he will add links in all of his directories network.
    So imagine more then 100 links from strong directories will create very strong directory.

    Then because each one hold 1% he will get 1% from the profit.

    I am willing to take on me to organise it (of course we need to do it formal). Just let me know what do you think.

    Who will control the funds? ;)
    Im sure there will be many disputes over that small issue alone...
    Imagine what other arguments would arise over featured listings(how many per page), price of listings.... etc, etc, etc

    great idea in theory if we were "the borg" :D

    I will control the funds of course :)
    the idea is to make it open as much as we can and transparent. So each member will have to option to see the payments, and add categories and edit links. Sure we will have to create a rule book, but I don't think it is so hard to do

    You would be better off taking 100% of PR6 earnings than 1% of PR8 earnings. Plus, nobody can guarantee you that it will be PR8. Google is acting a bit weird lately.

    I agree with velocity. I think that earning will not multiply.

    sure it is better to take %100 but it doesn't mean you have to stop working on your other projects... and lets say we do get the high pr (which I think we will) it will give you the power to add new sites of yours.

    It is a great idea but I agree with the rest. It would not work with 100 people involved. You can see by just the postings in here that it would be hard for 100 people to agree to the simple things much less the harder decisions of running a directory.

    Your "formula" is good but most peeps need to do it by themselves as it is called personal attainment which someone can be proud of. Group is good but that is on other occassions. :)



    Cheers

    Nicely put Jude, its good to achieve, besides, too many cooks spoil the broth if you ask me and there are too many who think they know more than each other here for it to ever be viable. Rep given for the common sense approach.

    Grand idea :eek: Have you really thought through what you'd be taking on? Working with 99 people you don't really know etc etc. Put all that effort into one directory of your own and it will be very successful :)

    I agree with what has been said here so far. Put your work into your own directory. The 1% you'd make is probably nothing compared to the 100% you could make from a different directory. You should have control over what you do.

    I would say you have a better chance doing this with 10 people, 100 would cause too many problems.

    Interesting idea. I agree with most of the criticism though, 100 people is too many. Also, I have heard that Google doesn't like it when alot of links to the same site are indexed in a short amount of time... such as spam.

    Maybe you can work out the details and cut down the amount of people involved.

    i also think 100 ppl is way too much.
    you can start with 5 people. and im sure if 5 webmaster work hard, you can get easily PR6 in 3 or 4 months. but hey all depends on google.

    Your formula is not bad at all-- but it is highly impossible to create a PR8 directory even by thousand people. Because we do not create PR or PR is not independent. It is controlled by a particular company that has huge business interest.
    I don't think it will let us do it.:(

    100 shareholders... sounds complex...

    I agree with velocity's example... 1 PR 6 directory all to yourself.

    I thought it will be almost impossible to get 100 people. I guess even one will not be easy :) just forget it...
