Bidding Web Directory - EnglishFair.com

I just purchased a bidding web directory as one of the early milestone in my journey into web property investment. Please read my previous post about this - I am Buying My Way into Online Money Making.

It’s a Google PageRank 5 bidding web directory - EnglishFair.com.

What is PR or PageRank?

It’s basically how important Google think of your website, rated from 0 to 10 - 0 is less important, 10 is most important. The importance is determined by a complex algorithm - mainly taken into account the following: how many websites link to your website, what is the quality of those websites linking to yours, are they related or on-topic with yours, how is your content quality, how many important terms are there in your site, etc, etc.

Why I interested in bidding web directory?

Simple fact, I involved in IT a lot - I always intrigued by directories and forums for two reasons - In fact, my investment policy evolves on these two reasons:

They don’t require full-time work in it - a.k.a passive income business model.
They are user generated - your visitors / members add contents themselves.

I like hanging out in SitePoint.com Marketplace and DigitalPoint.com Forums. There, I bid on some listed directories and forums with little luck. I finally got what I want, EnglishFair.com, a PR5 bidding web directory.

I keep you updated on how it goes.

What about blog?

Blogs have some potential to fit into my criteria - passive income business model. How to be one? By hiring writers, inviting guest bloggers, hiring co-authors, and other similar routes.

Wait, why I talk about blogs being a business?

You know, blogs can be personal and commercial by doing the same thing - post articles that people enjoy reading, and help other people achieve something important. That’s why so many popular blogs about making money online today.

What differ a personal blog to a commercial one is whether you monetize your blog or not. If you monetize your blog, it’s commercial, indeed.

I bid on blogs several times, with one being a close call. Oh well, another time, another opportunities.

What’s next?

I keep looking for another web properties! I plan to hold my portfolio as long as I can - of course, as long as it’s profitable. And when the time to flip them finally come, I’ll flip the to invest in a bigger web properties.

I’ll keep you updated on this.
