I’m generally happy with the quality of the sites being submitted for inclusion to my web directory. I approve listings manually so more or less what gets included are worthy to be in. I’m not saying my directory is the ultimate link directory but some of us do dream of being listed in an elitist group.
I haven’t got any link directory inclusion request this past weeks. Perhaps the submitters got tired of resubmitting again and again their crappy and spammy directory sites.
How do I determine quality sites? I have my criteria. It may not in agreement with everybody but then again everything is a matter of preference. Let’s just say that one of my criteria is that it shouldn’t feel like a machine did it, from design to content.
Anyway, I still don’t have any monetization plan for the site yet other than adsense which proved not effective for a directory site. I just got my paypal account so my best bet would be a paid or featured listing. My time is currently occupied with more important things so monetization will be taking a backseat for months to come.
