Directory Builders

You can run a directory as a standalone website or as an addition to an existing website. Some people do pay for directory listings but this is not something you should do, either for Search Engine Optimization or for traffic. Google does not rate directory links to your site very highly so it does little to enhance your websites reputation and the amount of through traffic to your website is usually very small and often non existent.

You may be able to make some incopme charging for entry inclusion but don't hold your breath, this is not a very lucrative revenue stream any longer.

Adding a directory to an existing site is a useful way to automate your link exchange program as well as provide a service to visitors.
