    want some feedback on my idea

    i have 2 domains not be used

    choice500domains.com
    choice500domains.net

    i am thinking of starting 2 paid directories with them

    charging for monthly links maybe annually

    but there will never be more than 500 links in the directories

    any feedback on this idea

    You cant do that with a directory... how will you get rid of old sites and get new sites, it will have to be some sort of new one in, old one out.

    it is possible

    once a link is either a month old or year old depending on how i set

    i can simply remove it from the directory unless they re-subscribe

    setting it to a per month payment will not get you subscriptions. if you do it, go yearly. this way over time you can build your directory's strength and PR and make it something prestigious in the long run.

    Yeah definetly not a month old, a year at least, but then youll be limiting your self to 500 links per year , youl lalso get limited budget to promote.

    Maybe you could allow unlimted links but give 500 links the best position on pages with pagerank. This way it will give the impression that the 500 chosen have been selected especially.

    The other links can be on inner pages with a plain layout.

    Seems like you would be limiting your revunue. I would not want to start a project where I knew my revunue would be capped at a certain number.

    First thing, you need good PR in order to get some customer. Why people would pay monthly or annually if you having PR of 0 or 1?

    I guess you need to start with free Directory & once you build your PR, You might go for $

    Thanks
