When you first start a web directory it’s good to know who your market is ie. What types of people will want to pay to be listed? Depending on what industry or niche your web directory is about will determine if you will have a good response or a bad one.
There are certain niches online where there are tons of webmasters actively looking to be listed on directories. They want links, know they need them and are willing to pay to be listed on a directory if they think it will bring them business or possibly boost their Pagerank.
An example of this is SEO’s; webmasters who understand the importance of links. So a directory on SEO firms would bring a lot more submissions then say a directory on scrap booking. This is definitely something to think about when you go to build your directory.

- Search Engine Optimization
