    Actually ur points are all good except for this one.

    IMO opinion, or atleast the way I work, when I start something, I see it as longevity.

    But I guess if there's a market for it, then it's as good as gold right :)

    - AdSense (which IMO, makes a directory look really trashy) alternatives:
    • Banner advertising
    • Affiliate ads/links

    - Selling text ads on the email notifications (submissions received, accepted, rejected emails)

    it is difficult to get into the text link ads program with a PR0 sites, if the directory has pr then it's a different case!
    anyways nice info!:)

    Thanks so much Nomar, I am happy that you liked the info.

    Hi Malcolm, thanks for the Digg :)

    Hi Bernard, some really good points made there, I will update the points in the link post.

    Hi uttoransen, I agree with your point and I feel that sometimes when you have a good alexa ranking you can get into these programs.
