Web Directory and Niche Article Directory
I have been thinking of building a human-edited web directory for Singapore. This will be a Singapore directory for local businesses and websites to gain visibility on the Internet - and also search engines ranking. There are already numerous such directories which is one of the reason why I did not want to start just another directory. Another reason being getting the right script for this directory. I like phpLD and also the one by Tolranet and will try out both scripts to see which one better suits my needs.
Despite all these negative things that were pulling me back to start a web directory over the past one year, I finally decided to embark on this Singapore Web Directory project for 2006.
Niche Articles Directory
The next project I will start in 2006 is an article directory for niche markets. I realised that many webmasters are always search for good quality articles for their websites. However, established article directorys with tens of thousands of articles may not be easy for niche site webmasters to search and gather articles quickly. So I will build one to target at this need.
The article directory will have several hundreds articles to start with. I will engage writers to write these articles. Eventually, I hope people will submit their articles.
Both projects above will require much of my time and money. So I may look for partners and volunteers to help me, especially to have good editors to approve the submission
