Thread: Watch this before you buy directory links or start a directory.

So you are engaged in buying links on directories or thinking about starting a directory to roll in the money... think twice ... see what Rand Fishkin of SEOmoz.com has to say about the value of general directories. (some of us have been saying this for a long long time)

Once you finished viewing this video visit my blog post and see what Rand means about building value:

Directory Owners … Incredibly Bright People, Doing Incredibly Stupid things!

thanks for sharing...

LaCabra... this is a very good article.

We have been "verticalizing" our general directories for the last 6 months.

We always build other things around any directory that we build.

Thanks wasabiventures ... the quicker people get to "verticalizing" the faster they'll see their user base and income grow!

We make as much money from selling banner advertising and site reviews in our directories as we do just from links.

And we have directories that make a great deal of money.

Imagine if you integrated a classified ads module and a newsrelease service .. you would even make more..don't you agree? This is what directories should be and you are correct look at both yahoo and google how they evolved from search engines / directories to a full service company offering many services!!!

You are exactly right. And it is frankly what we are working towards.

That a few other features!
