Making Money with a Directory Site Part 1
June 29, 2009
Provide yourself a way to make money and you will. There are so many ways to monetize domains, and as an industry whole – we are missing the boat on this. Per click is easy, I understand, however anything worth having, is worth working for . . .
So begins our adventure into making more money with your domains by increasing the net of options you cast to make money from a single visitor.
Our focus in this series is going to be the Directory Site. Whether you are using our service, or have your own directory out there . . . this will apply. This is not just a pitch to sell more of our Directory sites.
The basic ways of making money with a Directory based site fall into the following categories:
- Directory Listings
- Premium Listing Placement
- In Listing Upgrades
- Contextual Advertising (Adsense and the like)
- Outside Ad Sales
- Newsletter & Offer Mailings

Product Spotlight: eBay eCommerce
June 22, 2009
To go along with our Product Giveaway Contest (better hurry and join to be eligible for today’s free give away!) we will be spotlighting each of the new products – starting with the eBay eCommerce.
eBay E-commerce
- Price: $349
- Addons Available:
- Category Creation: Starts at $125
- Link Building: Starts at $125
Overview:
This “pseudo” ecommerce uses live auctions currently on eBay to monetize your domain name. The idea of having auctions instead of a product offers the appeal of a deal – and in this penny pinching economy it is a great way to offer a full product line up to your visitor base and pass along a sense of savings.
We are using the Build a Niche Store backend to power our stores. Using a 3rd party software provider allows us to keep our costs down. They focus on making a strong feature filled software, we concentrate on helping you to make more money with your website. This software allows easy category creation for any of the stores featured on eBay right now. The management area has all the tools and documentation to full manage your site – however if you do not have the time, our Category Creation upgrade services will help you get on the way to creating a nice search engine optimized ebay partner store!
What Domains Should Use This Product?
Any product based domain name. I love anything that deals with a savings (discount, deals, etc). Since eBay has the inherit branding of savings – your customers will feel like they are getting the best deal around. As always, if you have a question on whether your name will be a fit – contact us and we will give you our honest opinions!
You have 3 Hours to Win on of These!
Our week long contest is starting off by giving away one of our eBay eCommerce sites. All you have to do is join our newsletter to win – the drawing is in 3 hours at 5:00 PM ET. Click Here to Enter!
