I checked out the www.commissiondirectory.com upon receiving a recommendation from a directory owner and decided to take a chance and sponsor a category from the directory. The site is new and has a zero PR so my decision was based on a link popularity check and the result was = Google 69 and Yahoo! 6099 so someone is busy obtaining link backs to the directory. How it works: You become a lifetime category or subcategory sponsor and earn 20% commission from every link submission to your category. They only allow one sponsor per category or subcategory. Remember it's a lifetime sponsorship and going by the ever increasing link popularity this site will grow into something big including the PR. My verdict: This is going to be one of those 'right place right time' situations. At this time there are still some prime categories available but since I signed up last week a small number of popular categories have been taken. This directory will increase in PageRank over time and will increase charges for sponsorship. I recommend checking this one out a.s.a.p and seize the opportunity of getting a lifetime top page category link in what could be a higher PR paid directory later. And don't forget the 20% commission from all those paying to submit their site in your sponsored categories. Well there you go, check it out for yourself and post your views and feeling.

So it's like selling stocks in a way? Interesting approach, but owner will have to gain trust from people first.
