Niche Switch

a citation from the classic : “There is a new directory born every minute.”

But why? Isn’t ther plenty of them already? Isn’t market saturated? The answer would probably take a committee of seo experts, directory specialists, psychologists and economists, but I will inmodestly try to tackle it by myself:

1. pure boredome
2. to take a sneak peak on and inspiration from the website and topics others are working on
3. to make money
4. for swapping links with others
5. to feel the power and satisfy the ego (well….you will not get the power over others lifes, but power over approving or disapproving their links can be also satisfying for some)
6. to start another DMOZ or Yahoo
7. because they hate DMOZ and want to take it by storm
8. because they have a domain name they have no clue what to do with
9. to test the directory script
10. because a friend and neighbour have one too
11. to collect the email addresses of chicks (oh…..sorry ladies)
12. to collect email addresses and spam submitters
13. to promote their services
14. to collect passwords
15. just because they can, like someone pointed out on their directory
