Whether I should scrap my project?

    As you know I have started www.bigoole.com

    It is a directory with different concept

    When you search for a keyword the websites with that particular keyword will
    be listed

    suppose when you search for webhosting

    only webhosting sites will be listed and not like ordinary Directories or Search Engines


    It has been more than 30 days since I announced it here at announcements forums

    But till date I have got only 300 submissions

    Also no body is willing to be an editor even though revenue sharing is in place via Google adsense ads

    Now I am thinking of scraping this project as nobody as joined as an editor except a few

    I do not know what to do with it?

    As I also do not have enough bucks in my pocket to advertise like Aviva,Alive
    and sevenseek?

    What should I do now whether scarp this project or ask for sponsors?

    If ask for sponsors whether they would come to sponsor this ? Even now my directory(Bigoole.com) is hosted on shared server!

    Also how I should advertise since there is not enough money with me for having a dedicated server!

    I don't understand your concept.
    How search engines find submitted sites? I doubt you will have many submissions if you do not provide a back link that search engines can follow.

    One month is nearly not long enough. Unless you have a YouTube or a Myspace, I suggest you keep working hard and give it some time. Don't forget that there's millions of other people just like you trying to reach for the same goal. Many of us are on the same boat...trying to make a buck here and there, so I don't have any sympathy for you.

    There's of tons of free resources for you to promote your site on the internet, so I don't know what the problem is.

    So quite simply its a directory but instead of having categories, you find sites by searching for them?

    I think its a goodish idea, but you just need to promote it more. I wasnt aware of the site until i saw this post so you need to put more effort into getting the word out. Also put a decent link in your signature.
