    Hello! Iam wondering is it possible to create a directory using blogger? If so any tips? templates? how does it fare in PR compared to regularly hosted directories?

    Thanks in advance?

    Don't you have a few dollars for a domain ? it's more respectable to have a own domain (even for a blog in my opinion) then to have a subdomain

    Actually using blogger or wordpress to create mini directories is a great idea. Nothing like leeching off a trusted domain to increase ranking speed. And if you are on blogspot you are guaranteed a top 10 listing in MSN for anything you want ;)

    There was actually a good post awhile back on SEOmoz about Elite mini directories. http://www.seomoz.org/blogdetail.php?ID=1355

    This would be a great way to establish those.

    It really depends on what you are trying to accomplish. I would begin with a complete list of only the very best and charge nothing. Then after you have the pages indexed and a little traffic, then approach some other related sites to see if they want to advertise. Make sure they are on the same level as the ones already on the list or the quality of the dir will go down. I would not put anything on the site about paying to get listed.
