The Golden Age Of Web Directories
Not so long ago it seemed like nearly everyone who wanted to build websites were creating directories. I know when I started out online with all this stuff I put up at least three of them. If you frequented webmaster forums at that time one of the busiest sections was for announcing new directories. Many were even running multiple directories.
Lots of webmasters, including myself, were scrambling around paying $1 to $5 for regular listings and even more for featured listings. Most everyone was playing the PR game and the main concern was usually the PR of the directory and the listing page. Whenever you saw an ad for a directory in a forum it would usually go something like “PR5 Directory…”
Webmasters who achieved high PR values for their directories had no problem getting new listings even when they raised their rates. Wise directory owners used most of their listing revenues to promote their directory. The more high PR backlinks a webmaster obtained for their directory the higher their own PR raised and the more they could charge for listings. Read more
Honest Information About Paid Surveys
What if I told you that you could make several hundred dollars per month, just for telling people your honest opinions? With the help of paid online surveys, you can!
Huge, well known companies need your opinions on their services and products, and they are willing to pay good money for them. But why would they ask a normal person, without any specific expertise? Because companies sell their products to everyday people, just like you, and they want to essentially ask for your approval before releasing, or making changes, to their product or service.
For every survey you do you will receive a small reward (usually $1 to $10). Occasionally surveys will pay you much more. I personally have completed a $45 survey, which only took me about 30 minutes. There are also a number of other opportunities made available to you when you join a survey company. Sometimes there will be a specific focus group, expert survey, or taste test that if you qualify for, you will receive a very generous reward (usually upwards of $50 or more). Read more
