    Ive seen so many directories I cant understand how its possible to make anything out of them. Would they be worth me investing my 30USD into or not?

    I have just launced my directory today. The main benifit I'm hoping for is the links I can add on the home page to my other sites, which will hopefully help with traffic and se rankings.

    There's very little money in them. In a year, I just about cover my hosting costs (around $150). If they have PR, then sitewide links sell well.

    There are very few directories that will earn money for their owners long-term. And there are very few directories that are worth buying listings in long-term.

    Most of the directories you see launched nowadays are by, "fly-by-nighters". The use a free template and sell cheap links and then forget about it.

    If you are concerned about whether you should risk $30 on starting a directory then your chances of "making money" are zero.

    No is not worth to invest “$30” it will be another cookie-cutter directory that you will spend hours to review SPAM submissions.

    Usually turning them paid, but unless you have a PR5+ directory, income will be minimal.
