How To Make Money/ Online With Website/ Directories

There are two ways you can make money online with website directories – you can either join them or start your own. But before we get into the details, let’s take a look at just what website directories are and how they operate.

Website directories are lists, or indexes, of websites and the listings are broken down into categories, sub-categories and further if necessary. These lists of websites are a resource for people searching for information. You can go to your favorite search engine and type in a search time and you’ll see pages and pages of results. But if you go to your favorite website directory you’ll see results that have been edited to filter out the garbage. Ideally, a website directory contains links to sites that contain quality information and these sites have been selected by human editors.

There are literally millions of website directories out there. You can find general directories or niche-specific. To find them, just do a search for ‘website directories YOUR NICHE‘. The best general example is dmoz. This is an open directory project where real people, just like you and me, actually edit the listings. It’s purpose is to help categorize the Internet and separate the wheat from the chaff. Not all sites that are submitted are accepted.

Website directories promote themselves to searchers as being the best place to come to find quality websites in whatever niche – they save time and they weed out the riff-raff. They promote themselves to you, the webmaster, as being someplace where you can get a valuable backlink and traffic. They need your quality website so they can attract searchers (who will click on their ads) and they need searchers (traffic numbers) so they can attract your website to their index. It’s one big circle and, like everything else on the web, success depends on quality.
