    Hi All,

    Directory market is bit low these days. I think it is the right time to do something new and creative.

    Anyone willing to give some good creative ideas are welcome :)
    please share your thoughts here

    How can a new directory can be different ? What type of directories should hit the market ? :)

    personally, I think we need to stop the spread of these overnight script kiddie directories.

    Try and offer something that may benefit the end user as opposed to just building a link farm. Encourage visitors, and you then have an opportunity to eventually monetize traffic.

    Leave get rich quick to mugs, spammers and clickbank wannabes :)

    No one here is going to give you the idea that sparks the next great thing in directories.

    You are going to have to do your own research and study what others are doing. Decide what you like and what you don't like about what's already out there. Research old threads in this forum to learn more about what things have been tried and examine why they succeeded or failed.

    Study what directory owners and submitters say about each other and see if you can answer any of those issues.

    Think about the things you are interested in and compare that with the differences between running a general or niche directory.

    In other words, do some research and come up with your own ideas. Why should anyone give away their creative new ideas on an open forum? That just doesn't make good business sense.

    Enough of my mods and ideas have already been ripped off by the 'popular script' owner. Therefore I tend to keep things to myself, aside from a few people here who have seen some and provide feedback. Sorry.

    an0n owns the most feature rich and cutting edge directories I have seen. Combine skill + talent/creativity and that's what the OP will get. :D

    To all the participants of this thread and to those just reading it: I have known many developers and Rob (an0n) remains the best I've known so far!

    There are many around here and elsewhere selling and rebuilding mods originally created by Rob...at a lesser price and it's unfortunate! However, if you're looking for good service, quality, originality and 100% error free stuff, Rob is the guy to go for!

    Sorry if I sounded biased! I guess I am biased toward quality.

    IMO the new wave should be (is) niche directories and niche sites in directories and outside directories.

    Hi guys/gals

    Right i am looking to build a free website directory but i have little knowledge on this subject
    ideally i would like a directory template free where i can edit the content and manage it myself
    also i have considered adding google adsense but im not sure if this is possible? i dont want a free template where i have to use someone elses
    domain name example http://mydomain.co.uk/websitefreetemplatecrap.com i have my own
    domain names i would like to use, also i would like to be able to put this name at the top of the screen so this must be editable
    is there a place i can get such a thing? i dont mind paying web hosting or maybe a small fee
    but this is just a test site for me so basically as free as can be!


    i also would like to build a free website/blog with its own domain name just for informational purposes
    and run the 2 alongside each other. any help or info/links would be cool, please dont spam this message to death
    trying to sell me nike trainers etc, im an addidas man anyhow lol

    and finally i may need a second editor to help out so any suggestions let me know

    many thanks

    dan
