Yup as i am full fledged venturing into the directory business, i am now planning to start a network of web directories. :-)
The number that seems to be stuck in my head is around 10 quality directories.
So how do i monetize such a network ?
Well i plan to sell bulk links at a very attractive premium.
Say, 15$ for an approved submission in all the directories.
The concept is very similiar to a blog networks but much better.
How ?
Firstly, the biggest problem wih blog networks is that of “Duplicate Content”
To avoid this i plan to keep the free link channel open so i can build a unique link database for each and every directory within the network.
Reviewing can be a while but i guess a few hours of wok will be enough for sorting our the free submission review queue.
And yes these are not going to be graveyard directories as i would subsequently add more features, maybe a few webmaster tool, stuff like that so that i get some real visitors.
And when i say quality directories i would mean:
1. Seperate branding
2. No dropped domains
3. Seperate ip’s
4. Seperate link database
5. Moderate link building campaign
and “Real Visitors”
The script i plan to use is PHPld, ahh finally
Will start of with the free version: PHPld 2.1.2 and upgrade then to the latest version in the future.
I guess i could use my PHPld licence that has been just lying around for quite some time now.
The domains will/ have been registered at Godady and hope to have the directories ready in a few months.
Wish me luck guys :-)
