Why People Are Interested In Making Directories?

[Sarfaraz Ahmed A]

What Is The Benefit Of Directories Other Than PPC Ads, Cuz I Have Seen Many Many Directories Without Ads
Why Do People Make Them, I Mean It Costs Like Domain Hosting etc, even then
why??

[L. J.]

Well, most I have seen do have PPC ads on them. If they don't, I suppose they are hoping to make money by charging for submissions, or by charging for other forms of advertising (banners, etc.) from other parties. I doubt most directory owners make much money from their directories, but there are probably a select few who make a lot. Once it's up, there is very little maintenance work, besides approving/rejecting links.
