Hello my fellow webmasters, As the directory business is getting competitive, I wonder how niche directories are doing in this contextual link building trend. Hows competition? Submission trend? Feel free to share your perspective if you're a niche directory owner. Cheers!
Other then general directories it is hard to get listings. (related listings) I have a PR3 Real Estate agent directory, I get 4 to 10 good listings a week. It is absolutely free - no fee or back link required. (but still not many submissions) Get more bad ones that I have to delete. I get an average one Paid submission a month (may be less) Basically if you are targeting non web masters you need to have aggressive marketing. They don't submit, you need to solicit submissions. That is my understanding.
