PR0, How much $?

    How much should a directory with a PR0 charge, or should they even charge at all? I don't know anything about directories, that's why I ask.

    it all depends on what you have for content... i mean you could have pr0 site and charge $500 and people would pay if you have what they wanted or needed.

    it all depends.

    right now im charging nothing for links and 6.99 for featureds...i have pr0 and people are paying the 6.99

    That makes sense, thanks. Is it a general directory? I'm helping my mom start a loan directory.

    I forgot to ask, how much traffic should the directory be getting?

    I won't focus on PR that much though.
    Tim gets a nice directory with plenty of links and advertising and so on,
    and it's PR0

    I have a test sub-page with no link, no advertising, no nothing, and it has been PR3 the next day...

    Make no sense to me, so I think PR is meaningless...

    well it all depends...ive been constantly trying to increase my traffic with out paying a penny...so far so good...8k uniques a day ...well 7,900ish but...i honestly dont know how to compare to others because i dont see others stats...i think as long as you see improvement in your traffic you are doing the right things...

    Yes, traffic is key.
    What's better : PR0 with 8K uniques or PR5 with 100 uniques??
    My PR3 page gets 3 visits/day : me, each time :D

    LOL

    My PR0 Directory charges $4.20 for featured lifetime listings. Like all my sites I take a long view of things. It grows over time and that is what matters.

    I have sold PR0 directory for $10 monthly. It's a matter of who you sell to :)

    i dont think they should charge at all since they have pr 0 but the number of visitors counts too

    PR shouldnt set the standard for charging and what to charge.. its all up to the owner of the site and what his or her "clients" sort of speak will pay for.
    if i have a directory with a pr0 and im offering you 100$ a month for life for every featured link you buy for 6.99, some people might do that.
    if you have what somebody wants, they will pay no matter what. its a proven fact. pr0 or pr9 if people want something, people will pay.
    in this case they might like the colors, they might like the style...they might like a feature...if they like they will get what they want.
    pr should not determine what to charge.

    The power lies with the webmaster not almighty google :D

    That's right. Ultimately, the owner gets to decide and got all the power to do whatever he/she likes. I have seen a directory that sell PR0 page at $15 or more. And some people still bought such links.
