Web Directories as Web Investment - Well Worth the Trouble?
(2 votes, average: 3.5 out of 5) Loading ...I have involved for at least four months in web properties. Although still new, I learn a great deal from experience, from experts, and from critics, as well.
I started my web property investment by purchasing and starting web directories, as I learn that owning an Internet guide & web directory is lucrative :)
But first, why I join webmaster forums and why I start my web property investment with web directories?
Webmaster forums are to learn the basic from the experts
I joined webmaster forums, such as those of DigitalPoint.com and SitePoint.com, to learn the basic from the experts. From both forums, I land my first web property purchase, as well as my first web property sales.
Both forums have different characteristics and type of experts - Learning from both forums kick-start me into web directories - the ‘playground’ of webmasters.
I am not a webmaster - a wannabe, perhaps, but I always want to learn the basic webmaster skills that are proven to be very useful in my web property investment journey. Well, at least to avoid being scammed by the smarter guys :)
Web directories are (still) important and lucrative today
I wandered around the forums to learn what are people working on to make money online these days. I found several prospects, and one of them is web directories.
Web directory is a listing of things - could be general or niche, could be free or paid. While most people say that web directories are dead today, I still see that web directories are pretty much playing important role and still lucrative today.

What is bidding directory?
No, it’s not like what you think - it’s not Casino or gambling sort of stuff.
It’s a paid directory listing with a twist - Not only you can list your site, you can bid for the top position, usually the Top Ten.
What’s the benefit of being in the Top Ten? Advertising and SEO benefits, of course - Please read at my Bidpreneur post on bidding web directory.

Bidding Web Directory - EnglishFair.com
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...
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.
