    As we see there are thousands of free directory runnings (i also of 2), I want you to answers few of my questions about them:

    * How do people earn with free directories? (webmaster traffic don't click ads)
    * How to promote free directories? (no one can afford so much money to buy adsense vouchers)
    * How much traffic is okay for free directories? (I get 50 uniques daily)

    awaiting for answers,
    regards,
    gursimran.

    1- By selling featured/sitewide ads. OR from adsense or other banner ads.
    2- They can be promoted like any other site, signature, banner, text ads etc.
    3- No limit :D

    1 - It needs good PR i will have to wait. As webmaster traffic dont click, what about CPMs and popup ads.
    2 - Do topsites work?
    3 - Any Idea, how much you people are getting?

    REPs added.
    Thanks.

    1 - yes, you can CPM/popups. As its a free directory, submitters dont care about advertise.
    2 - are there any directory topsites :confused:
    3- 100-200 uv/day

    There are more ways
    Ways to make money from directory

    I earn from the featured listing of my free web directory, still waiting for PR to increase before I can go into other ways to monetise. I have Adsense on the directory but it is not earning much. Traffic is around 200 UV per day.

    I owned a free web directory and you can earn from selling ad space on it.

    Sidewide links and banner on main. Free directories are self promoting usually. It is enough to announce in here for instance that you own a free web directory and the next day your directory will be full of spam :D

    But there are few who will care about were they link will be places and how many traffic can they get from you.

    This is one advantage... traffic.
    If you have decent traffic on it, rent ad spaces on it(on the main), category sponsors, etc.

    You can use free directory to promote any other website through confirmation, approval etc.. e-mails if your directory have the option.
