    Just put this up not too many minutes ago.
    It is empty as far as categories.
    What I need are ideas as to what niche to use for this directory.
    And categories for that niche.
    Only niche category I could come up with is "candies"
    Here is the url of the new directory (still have to get logo that fits in good with the site and with the niche it goes with)
    http://www.peppermintdirectory.com

    Thank you.

    I like the green. I am thinking your idea for a candy based directory is good. I do not think I have come across one yet allthough that is not saying that it does not exist.

    Why not candy. You have different categories of flavorings and other ingredients, equipment manufacturers, news, associations, ingredient and product brokers, etc. I would search for a candy or confection association websites. From there you will get lots of category ideas. I am also an aggie. I should have thought of this . . .

    It will be!
    Been googling candy, candy directories, candy mfgs, and so forth.
    Tons of stuff out there.
    Plus seems like the family likes that idea.
    Wife likes it (she rarely inputs, just checks the paypal balance! LOL).
    And a few friends have liked the idea.
    So....it will be a candy oriented directory.
    Just have to come up with categories and where to get some links added.

    Thanks to all.

    Candy is a very good niche with no so good competition, At east up to a few months ago.

    Quite a few people would visit a candy directory.
    Just by my basic searching for candy, candies, candy stores, etc etc etc
    I have found that there is a good sized market for candy!

    Standard design?
    I believe it is way beyond standard, especially for directories.

    http://www.peppermintdirectory.com
    is a food directory.
    Have a site about food? Coffee, tea? Anything edible?
    Now you can submit your link free.
    If your food site does not fit any of the categories, let me know and I will create a new food category.
    Oh, candy also!

    Thank you.
