I was wondering, does anyone here own a directory?
Be it specific or general ones.
Sometimes we find a lot of directory owners in forums like this one; it would be a great opportunity to share this information and we could all exchange tips on how to build a successful directory. If you have any thoughts on this, I would be very pleased to hear them as I am considering building a niche specific directory.

Thank you

Pretty new, but good old phplinkdirectory does the job pretty well, and it can be a good thing to submit in a young directory, if they last enough in time to get well ranked off course
