DON’T START AN ARTICLE DIRECTORY

by surfaddict on May 29, 2008

REASON WHY YOU SHOULD NOT STARTING A NEW ARTICLE DIRECTORY

It seem like article directories already overloaded all around internet sphere and most of it been developed in order to generate income from Google Adsense. Article directories had face a same phenomena just like arcade games site,proxy, forum, directories and social networks. But this time, most of internet entrepreneur found it no easier to market new article directory site because of duplicate article been submitted again and again. So, i can said that to be successful in article directories, internet entrepreneur who really want to make money thru article directory site must have a good unique articles content in their site. So, no wonder people will addicted to your article site if you are able to provide them with a unique content rather than the duplicate contents.

Just like directories site, most of article directories already been abandonment and the rate of abandonment is extremely high. While doing submission for my new articles, I went through a bunch of article directory lists. Although many of these were less than a year old, I found an incredible rate of parked sites, dead sites or sites that were no longer directories. I am talking about hundreds and hundreds of dead article directories. So, is that shown the dead of article directories ? I’m not sure since most of it been abandonment even after 3 months from their birth.

I’m not just talking about anyone else, it happen to myself also. I got one article directory already been expired last 2 months, to be honest I’m not abandonment that article directory just because it’s not profitable or else. But, i forgot the password and already ruin with the coding and the site is too weird and I’m totally zero on coding it theme. So, im decided to make a new interface and once again I’m “killed” this good article directory. Gosh, so don’t ever asked me about coding or you will ended lost your awesome site in my hand.

I’m not an expert on any type of directories site but my advice for anyone wanting to start a new one is to try something else, maybe a niche directory. You also can found good business information at Spectrotel company info , here you can found which niche is popular been search this year and you can develop a great business niche directory also.

Well, I think you are right in some point but if you are really serious about it, if you can provide Quality, Time,Money, then it could be a full time business.

I totally agree, directories of any kind are a definite no..no if you wish to make any money online.

Article directory is among the first website I have. It’s kinda hard to be maintained initially, I spend quite sometime to get to know how the scripts work. And now, I’m pretty happy with what I have. I have stopped receiving articles from artile marketer and 100% of the articles now is user submitted which was approved 100% manually

Well like anything else on the internet, once you put hard work into it, it can be successful. If you go out saying you want to have the “best” article directory in the world, and go out of your way to ensure that this happens, then it can succeed.
