While browsing through digital point forums, I came across an interesting post. I thought to check if I did it right by starting a web directory. According to the post, following are the points for which you should NOT start a web directory.
so here goes:
Every statement on this list should be followed by…YOU should NOT start a web directory.
1. If you bought a dropped domain name just because it had pagerank, and now you don’t know how to recover the money you wasted…
2. If your directory domain name is related to another industry, for example “encephalopathy-mesothelioma.info”…
3. If you think it would be cool to clean up your site by removing template sponsor/developer credits…
4. If you have ever asked the question “Where can I find a category dump?”…
5. If you already calculated how much it will cost to list the directory for sale at SitePoint…
6. If the statement “New High PR Directory” makes sense to you…
7. If you use framesets to spread your PR over every page of the directory…
8. If you have ever asked the question “How can I bulk approve submissions?”…
9. If you use the Pagerank Prediction tool religiously every hour, on the hour…
10. If you take an existing directory name and just add a hyphen, then steal the logo and try to pass it off as the original. for example “emporium-directory.dumb”…
<lol>I found that I had not a single intention to start a web directory that is listed above, so think this should be used as a directory start up tool </lol>
