My first directory - what do you think?

beansbaxter · 09-01-2008, 03:42 PM

I just finished my first directory, and it was quite the task. I have a ton of money tied up into this thing. After doing all of that, I'm not sure if directories are worth it - if I'll ever see a return to break even ya know... but once you get so deep in developing then you feel like you have to finish it.

What do you think of it - it's called PNW Biker Information Guide:

Very nice work on a niche directory. You might have trouble recouping your costs with free advertising as it stands now, but you have a nicely designed and laid out website that with proper marketing should attract both users and advertisers.

Best of luck to you!

Very cool and very nice directory. The site itself has 0 flaws from what i can see. Love the clean design and looks like a lot of thought was put in to it. With good marketing and promotion this could make some money. Though getting what you paid for it might take a while.

I would have personally used http://www.phplinkdirectory.com/. You can do basically everything you have done there, except for free. Don't fret though your directory is extremely nice and should do well.

Good Luck!

I like it. What I really like is how you can add an extra column on the articles page that's not on the home page. I have been trying to figure that one out on WP without too much success (how to have more or fewer columns on a selected page).

I love the design, it's simple and easy to read. Looks like your site has a lot of features too. When I hear the word 'Directory' these days too often I think of the standard PHP Link Directory. Best of luck with your new site,
