Directories are most of the time considered as link farms defiantly the new ones. And why would I spend money on a backlink from a directory which no one uses wjile I can get on so many places (relevant) backlinks for free?
Who says backlink from directory requires money? And who says directories are considered link farms? You are prejudiced with many doubts. You need to clarify with SEO expert. This shows you have psedo-knowledge of SEO.
On first look, your directory looks good. The niche that you have selected is only from the building and construction industry, so you can may be have an option of a reciprocal link. This can help you gain link popularity in the niche of your directory and may be some traffic. Subsequently, you can get listed in a relevant category in some niche directory list. Trying PPC campaign can also be a good option for you. You are sadly mistaken brother. As they say, "half knowledge is dangerous".
Most quality directories are paid beside how else do you want to earn something on this? He offers advertising but which service or company would be interested to advertise above another company? I wouldn't beside which audience would you target then as advertiser? Beside did you read the poll? I wrote most directories are considered as linkfarms not all. I also wrote about new directories who add right from start hundreds of URLs. I could explain why but hey I'm not an expert right? A simple question for all those people who start a directory: how often do you look up an URL from a directory such as DMOZ or any other? I never do, Google or any other search-engine offers much better information.
