Even though article directories are not as popular as they used to be a couple of years ago, they are still considered to be one of the best sources of information on the internet and also they are one of the favorite advertising methods used by webmasters.
Websites like ezinearticles, eHow and goarticles attract thousands of visitors each day and they are among the biggest websites on the internet.
As you can imagine starting an article directory may be a very good idea to generate income and earn money online.
How to create an article directory?
In the first place you need to decide the url and the name you want for your site and buy the domain and webhosting.
In order to run an article directory you will also need to install a special script for this kind of website. You are going to find many different scripts using google.
Most scripts are customizable and you can use different themes and templates, add logos, etcetera
Once you have your website up and running it is time to start promoting it and getting users and visitors. One of the best ways to do this is using search engine optimization and link building techniques like directory submissions, blog commenting and social bookmarking. Another great way to attract visitors is using a webmaster forum like digitalpoint.
The final step to start earning money is to find a monetization method. The most used by far is google adsense and other options are selling affiliate products and selling your own advertising and banner spots on your site.
