Now What??? Link Directory

Wanting some opinions on what to do. I started my first link directory, It's now getting good traffic and Good submissions. Now how to make more money with it? I have sold 3 featured listings this month just $5 each. I know adsense doesn't work well on this type of site. So what can I do to boost the revenue???

Site details for those who want to know
domain:koopy.org - Registered 2005-09-10
Alexa traffic rank: 7 day avg 295,069 - 1 month avg 459,335 - 3 month avg 658,831

Anyone have any ideas or comments?

might i ask how you managed to sell featured listings with a pr0 homepage?

I have no idea, I was shocked. It was the same person bought all 3. So I assume he didn't know any better or he had some money to blow lol. I been thinking about refunding him but???

no need to refund him unless you were faking pagerank or something like that. given the traffic i would try a monetization method that is impression-based.

you need to advertise and promote your directory on other web directories as well.

Thank you, Shockie your post reminded me of something. The owner of the domain before me had a second domain directed to this one (koopy.org). I did some checking and it does have a pr of 2. I guess I will refund the money. The second domain is (Dirsurch dot com). I don't want to rip anyone off.

Impression-based do you mean popups? Not a big fan of popups. Can you recommended any?

advertise it on other forums and submit to other directories. Do link xchange too.
