I would be interested in comments regarding what kind of revenue models have been successfully implemented. I have a regional directory that has been "live" for slightly over 3 years, using Links SQL of course, and love the product and the support community here!
Has anyone charged a nominal fee (one-time or on-going) for people to submit and manage their own site link(s) successfaully? I know it sounds like a potential admin nightmare! I'm also interested in the potential the new version of LinksSQL may bring to the table.
My site has been basically a free submission site to this point. Besides the submissions, I import the pertinent section of the DMOZ directory and spider sites in our region for new sites for inclusion besides looking at other databases. I'm at about 45K sites in our region with about 3-4K unique visitors per day.
Also, for revenue to this point, I'm running AdSense and sell some of my own advertising directly.
Any thoughts and success stories would be helpful!
Thanks.
