Probably the most famous web directories are Yahoo and DMOZ.org and rightly so. But they aren’t the only directories and there is room for more. Yahoo charge $299 for express inclusion in their directory and it is also possible for you to make money from a directory.

There are two types of web directory, general directories (like mine www.glowdir.com and dirstop.com) as well as niche directories. A niche directory is one that focuses on specific areas on the web. I have a niche directory for Media, News and PR. So your first decision is what type of directory do you want, general or niche. If you have a passion or a hobby then I would suggest making a niche directory about that. Your audience is smaller, but it is well known and your competition is smaller. If you want a general directory then you have a lot of competition but your potential customers are all the web users in the world!

What makes a directory popular. If you want to start charing sums like Yahoo for inclusion in your directory you need to have two things: traffic and page rank. The more visitors you have to your web directory the more exposure each included site gets. The higher your page rank the greater the importance put on each link in your directory by the search engines.

So what do you need to do, here is a list:

1. Download a free directory script like PHPLD
2. Get a template to make it look unique
3. Advertise you directory (in forums, in your blog etc) and get link submissions
4. Build back links to your site (that is other sites linking to you)
5. When your popularity rises you can start charging for inclusion.
6. Add Google Adsense adverts to your site to increase revenue.

Good luck!

Directories also come in many different forms and topics. Most directories accept most types of sites that are submitted to them and they then also have a lot of sites submitted to them. It sometimes can be very difficult to go through these directories trying to find what you are looking for as there are so many different sites submitted. Other directories are tried to limit themselves to a special niche. It could as an example is a directory that is only accepting submissions from sports sites or about bakery. There are as many different topics as there as sites. It is usually a good idea to submit to the directories that are for a special topic as if people are looking for bakery sites it is very likely that they would visit an bakery directory to find some different bakery sites. One of the most common niche among directories is the business niche. Lately a lot of sites are aiming at companies and businesses to submit there sites to the directory.

One of the best directories that are available on the internet today is the Wamchu which has a lot of different topics when it comes to business. Among some of the most popular topics we see the Design and Printing directory, Apparel directory, Mobile Phones directory and Bridal Shops directory. If you have a site within these topics then it is an really good idea to submit your site to the Wamchu directory. If you also have an web related company we suggest you hurry up and submit your site also before one of your competitors take more potential customers from you. If in any other business related topics and niches then submitting to the Wamchu can help your business get number one in your field.

The way it works is simple. The more you bid, the better your chances are of appearing on the front page. If you bid enough to be in the top 10 listings on the entire site, then a link to your website will appear on the main page. Likewise, if your link is one of the top 10 in your subcategory, a link will appear on the main category page. This is an easy and relatively inexpensive way for website owners to get on top of the online business world.

The advantage of putting your link on cyberweblink.com is that it will help improve human spidering, which is a large part of the search engine rankings.

I found some nice info on his blog about a strong internet directory – BQTM.com – It has good Google Pagerank and Seomoz Page strength. So if you want to gain high SERPs or need to do some SEO, its worth submitting to this general web directory. It charges a small review fee for a yearly listing on appropriate category.

He also owns a nice entertainment blog about Make money tips – Scriptdebate. I do visit it regularly to find latest happenings on internet. The blog looks nice with a quality and unique design, nicely modded.

Hope you find these resources very helpful.. Just follow them and see $$ coming up your pocket very soon.
