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.
Directories and PPC tools

Last week im getting a lot of private message asking about how reliable directories submission in this circumstance. This is due to google slap on certain paid directories. Some rumor said that paid directories had effected google PPC tools so much and they had face a drop in advertiser. But google PPC tools such as Google Adwords still dominated others PPC tools like YSM and MSN Adcenter. This is due to limitation towards certain country to be accepted by another two PPC tools.
Actually it came to two question, which PPC tools is much better for both publisher and advertiser? To be honest, i had seen a list of more than 100 companies in which provide this PPC tools. Therefore, why Google still concern on paid directories is not really related with PPC tools. They must have a good reason to bump with this issues. People keep waiting on PR updated, however it seem like PR will be no more important and TLA should concern others way to evaluate publisher’s site.
Directories will improved our backlink and PPC tools is more related with traffic. I hope google can update this issues soon and come will more ways to evaluate each site. Hopefully this time without slap anybody. ![]()

hi again,
Did anyone remember my post about 50 Pages Website? The owner of this site had been released a new paid directory. This time your site will be listed according to your site’s alphabet instead of category.
This site is still new, and i hope to get a few place for my site. I need to discuss about this site with my partner since this time i decided to list our makeoverdesign site. Right now, I’m waiting for google PR update since this few month i had done some effort to increase PR for this site. (Actually not much effort because of my busy schedule).
For those, who interested to invest on this type of site promotion. Do place your site at $1 only. Wow..that so cheap right?
