Is it worth starting a Directory in today’s day and age?

The biggest problem with running any form of directory is "link rot" this is a term coined to refer to dead links. It is pretty important that you regularly clean the directory out and remove any changed or broken links.

Once you will maintain that quality, you will not require to worry at all.

You would have seen many people talking that directories does not work. They did not understand what kind of directory they are talking about. They are talking about scrap directories which does not have any value in itself so how can they pass value to others?

So keep focus on quality, and you will get going to the business success.

To get something big, you need to loose small stuffs. If you are stick to the quality, you will get better prices for each advertisement later.

If means that if some one ask you to add his/her site listing to your directories in non-relevant category since he is going to pay you some bucks, you must reject them immediately.

If you want to earn more money faster, convert it into bid directory.
