shd i make my forum directory paid ?

i been working since last 1 year with forumrating directory editing the listings of forums,
most i get are normally of new directories of 50 + members

im working hard to post in lot of forums, every forum i go has my sig , and mostly i do make 20-50 posts minimum in good forums,

i really am tired of free listings approvals and stuff

what you guys suggest should i keep a basic of $5 fee for paid listing, so that i can promote and spend more with the publicity and offer enough to make forum owners happy

 

Do you have the traffic and niche ranking power to draw people into a paid directory?

 

make it paid.. I think you have already worked enough to promote the directory. Fruit is now ripe. It is now time to pluck the fruit and eat.

best of luck!!

Dude, it's possible you to loose 70 % of traffic because of that, but good luck anyway! I voted for keep it free but really am not sure about that.

 

I would suggest you to make it paid, as your site is old enough, make proper promotions for it and see the results.

 

i have good traffic, and im ready to even remove the ads, there wont be any banners or adsense in this directory, i have 10k + uniques a month

ill start adword campaigns with paid dir

 

I would give it a shot then. Worst case it doesn't work and you revert to a free directory again.
