Yea, took me two day to complete the checkup. It took me around 2-3 hours in total. I just took the time to make sure the websites which would be listed in the general directory were at the good place. If they were 2 level down, it was fine enough for me. I also took the time to verify if there was any gambling or poker related websites as the new guideline strictly forbids them (especially because the people who link to their website making the users think they’ll find useful information mislead them more than often).
New submission will be checked on the fly as I don’t want to have to do this once again.
On another note, I checked my predicted PR for the directory and it’s now a PR3! Yes, I haven’t yet acquired the PR but it’s only a matter of time, and while I’m waiting, I’ll submit the directory to others directories so I can get more backlinks, which will then turn out into an higher PR.
I’ve been able to sell 9 featured links at the price of 2$ (now 2.37$ because of the paypal fees). There’s 16 left out of the 25 and I’m pretty sure they will sell out as soon as I get my PR. Then, I’ll start increasing the featured links price by doubling the initial amount each 25 links.
Ex.
25 links @ 2$
25 links @ 4$
25 links @ 8$
25 links @ 16$
25 links @ 32$
25 links @ 64$ -> Yea, it will most likely not happen.
I think that after the 100 first link I’ll keep a fixed price, maybe 15$. At that moment I should be over the 1500 submissions which be quite cool. All the money I’m earning from this will serve to pay for the servers (until I reach the amount I had to pay for domain names and server rental) then it’ll all go into my pocket. This money will be used to buy myself a new computer.
