Theme: A New Directory
June 9, 2007If you remember my post about running a directory, you’ll see that I praised members that started directories because it really offers the chance to make a considerable amount of money. Well, I know that I don’t normally talk about my sites all that much, but I decided that I would mention my newest site. I started a directory today with the hopes of building a solid one. Now, I am going to talk about a few things on my directory with the hopes of showing you what I meant a little bit more in my post about running a directory. And hey, you may love what you read so much, you may create your own directory, or even better, buy a link on mine. So, the directory is Bronze Links Web Directory…Check it out.
First and foremost, if you look at my directory, you’ll notice that it is a PR0. This is a severe weakness and if you are ever going to run a site, you need to remember that a PR0 link isn’t all that wonderful. However, there was something that I did to combat the fact that this is a PR0. It’s inevitable that if I put any work into the site, it’ll increase in page rank. It’s not all that hard to get page rank if you mention it in some blog posts, link to it and get a few high ranking links to it. So, my way of getting around the fact that the site is a PR0 is that I offer you a $1.00 that will last forever. Isn’t that a good move? You take a one dollar risk and potentially get a higher PR link after a while. It’s definitely a good move, I think.
I offer a lot of different categories. You are entitled to set up whatever type of directory you want. If you want to make a blog directory, you wouldn’t have the same type of categories that I do. Or maybe you would and they would just be about blogs rather than a generic site. I like the generic site because it allows more people to potentially add their sites to my directory. And that means that I could potentially make more money from it. However, the directory can be whatever type you want and so long as your PR is higher or you offer an amazing deal, you’ll make money. That’s all that matters, right? Making money.
The final thing that you may notice is that I don’t have adsense on it nor do I have a very unique theme. First to mention the adsense. Since right now, my goal is to try and build the traffic, I don’t want people leaving the site via adsense. I want them to look around the site more and I want them to click on links leading to other sites that bought a link on my site. If they see that one of their sites is getting traffic from me, they may buy other links, you know? Once the traffic skyrockets, I will probably add adsense to it to make a little passive income. As for the theme, you’ll notice it is very generic. The simple truth of that is that I was never someone that loved aesthetics. I probably should get it a better theme and I probably will soon.
As you can see, Bronze Links Web Directory is a new directory with no page rank, but it does have the chances to grow. With a little taking care of, the directory will definitely grow. Now, I know I am biased and I want to make some money, but I really do think that for a dollar, you’re making an investment that could become a very inexpensive high page rank. Imagine when the directory becomes a page rank four. For one dollar, you would have gotten a permanent page rank four link. Isn’t that a pretty nice deal? So, while I am biased, I really think that you should get a link. For a buck, you can, in the future, increase your page rank. But don’t take my word for it…Try it out. ![]()
