How to make money from directory

The majority of directories earn their revenue from Paid Submissions in which a website or blog owner pays a certain amount to get listed in your directory.. A blog or website owner can list by using any of these three types.

Featured Listings where the submitted URL and details of a particular website or blog will appear at the top of a certain category in a bold and highlighted format. This helps the listed entity to  gain more traffic and higher PR. Here the directory owner can charge good fee for listing for specific term.


Regular Listings are normal listings in directories are classified according to PR, alphabetically, date of submission or according to any criteria that directory owner decides. Directory owner can decide a small fee for such listing.


Reciprocal Listings are a usually free service where the submitter has to link back to your directory in order to get listed. Some companies makes this also as paid service by quicker listing in the directory. If a submitter didn't pay the fee then it is not sure that when your submission will get listed.Reciprocal listings are helpful for the directory owner to make links for the directory and maintain the Page Rank.

Advertisements as another income source for directories

Advertisements are other major income source for directories. A directory owner can have different ways to make money using advertisements.

Link Money programs where the directory owner earns money from the links that are previously shortened with money paying URL shortening services. An easy way to make money especially in porn directories, where visitors aggressively click on most links. Major link money programs are Linkbee

Pay Per Click  or PPC is the most popular advertising program in which ads are placed on your blog and you are paid when ever your visitors click on it. Google Adsense or similar programs. The more the traffic you get, then more chances to earn money.

Directory affiliate program where a directory owner earn money from this is when the advertisement in your directory refer a user from your directory to buy a product from the advertising website. Eg: Google Affiliate Network and Amazon Associates.

Revenue Sharing sites are those sites where you can link your Google Adsense, Amazon Associates, Ebay accounts so that any revenue from impressions can be shared. This will increase the traffic to your directory also. Eg: Hubpages

Advertisement Slots – Here you must keep separate advertisement slots for individual advertisers to rent that space for certain period of time.
