    I have decided for my directory (http://www.splur.net) to go paid. I was just wondering if anyone has any tips for me?

    Like prices, wat I should offer etc anything that could be of use. The directory is only pr 2 but I have been promoting it quite a bit and it should increase.

    Anything anyone can offer would be great.

    Cheers :D

    I would charge .95 for recip links, since most free recip submitters will try and rip you off. I would raise regular links to $2.95 and featured to $5.95

    Add a deep links mod so you can give more value to submitters. I am not sure how many free links you have already but you might want to go through them and weed out any low-quality sites.

    good luck

    It really depends on your promotion. I would say you have to link build and advertise for another 3-4 months before expecting to earn any profit.

    Get well indexed, get a little buzz going on with the name so folks know you are serious about promoting and advertising your directory. Build up some traffic and eventually you will start getting regular submissions.
