What to do with a PR7 directory?
Hi,
I had a domain name www. lioncity. net since 1996 and its a seldom used with hardly any traffic. We thus put the whole ODP data there. Recently we realized that somehow its front page had increased to PR7.
Should we just maintain the ODP site with its PR7? If we do just that, we're not making any revenue from it. Or should we change to a directory of our own, asking for a link back to be included in the directory?
All advise appreciated.
Thanks.

Sell advertising on it. Sell directory listings on it. Use it to place backlinks on it to your other sites. All kinds of things you can do with it.

I would be more curious to know why it has a PR7 before making any changes.
Then make a decision on the direction to take the site after you know how it got to where it is. Don't want to invest a whole lot of time in a temporary fluke unless you planned to develop the site anyway. A paid directory would be a good idea, and as donna said, sell some advertising on it.

Sell it too me for pennies on the dollar so I complete my dastardly plan to take over the world with the most severe PR bleed to my site ever seen by man.


Or you could set up a paid directory and charge 40 dollars per listing

Thanks for the respond. Currently I've no plan to sell links on the website. I will temporarily use it to place links to my other websites. Thanks again for all the advise given.

I vote for selling text links, I might buy some from a 2nd level section. PM me if you do go down that road.
