    Last month I have around 100$... :p

    I'm far from that amount of money yet, but if you have more directories you could achieve this goal easily...I think :)


    Thanks,

    A few people make more than $1k/month from directory.
    For some reason, I can't list their name.
    As to me, about $200 monthly.

    Many people make more than $1000 in a week. Those people are unlikely to say as its unprofessional to brag/speak about income in this way.

    I on the other hand don't care. Many months I have made that amount with my directory. I know of many directory owners that have too.

    Just out of curiosity, how does everyone make money off of directories? Is it just from the paid directories? What if you have a free directory, is it just ads? I have heard of free directories who turned into paid to start making money.

    When you ask a question and you compare the stats which are nearly a year out of date
    http://www.bizreport.com/2007/03/report_online_directory_revenue_growth_steady.html

    Meanwhile online directory ads will raise more than 22% to more than $11 billion.

    Online directories include Internet Yellow Pages, mobile directories and local search hubs. Internet Yellow pages alone are expected to show 29% growth to $2.3 billion.

    1,000 USD is not really a recordable statistic

    If you turn your free directory into a paid one overnight the incomes will be almost the same(1% from the one who are searching for free directory will pay), and your traffic will decreased after 1-2 month.Is better to concentrate to gain a high PR and after to monitise the directory.

    You seriously expect people to leave an honest reply?
    I don't think its professional to brag how much you make per month unless its a record income. Just my opinion.

    It's got nothing to do with bragging mixke, it's got everything to do with what the hell has it got to do with anyone else what people earn? The only one who I would tell is the one's I have to.
