Well, now it’s time for the next installment of… “6 POWERFUL VRE (Virtual Real Estate) Business Models You Can Start Building In 2006 Using Google AdSense”.
By now you should have a good idea of what Virtual Real Estate is and why you should start a network of your own VRE sites depending on the model you choose.
In the last installment of this series I covered “Article Directories.”
In this part of the VRE series, I’ll cover “web directories” in general and then give you some examples of what they might look like and what they might look like.
Sounds good?
VRE model #2. web directories.
A “web directory” is simply a directory on the World Wide Web that specializes in linking to other websites and categorizing those links. Web Directory owners will often allow site owners to submit their site for inclusion. Human editors will then review your submission, and if accepted, it will be added to their database.
The unique thing about web directories is that they are often used as part of a website marketing strategy to get indexed on major search engines like Yahoo!, Google, MSN to name a few.
The main strategy behind someone submitting their website to a directory is that a new site needs to quickly build inbound links from trusted sources. By doing this, they will rank higher within search engine results under your target keywords, based on the PR (Popularity Ranking) of that directory or incoming link.
That’s the basic summary of what web directories are for and why they are a great VRE business model.
Web directories can be and target anything you want. It’s your directory, so you decide what it’s about.
As your directory grows, so will your traffic.
And if you have targeted affiliate programs strategically placed in your directory along with your Google AdSense code, you could be earning a nice, steady income from your directory like many others are right now.
Now… as I said at the beginning of this article, I would give you some examples of some Web Directories with Google AdSense so that you can see for yourself if it is something you want to venture into or not.
So with that said, here are 3 directories that I think will give you a good idea of what to expect:
Free Stuff Directory:
all things free
Ebook Directory:
wisdom ebooks
Program Directory:
Software5
Now remember, your Online Directory can be about anything you want. You have the control.
These are just a few examples of what’s out there.

I recommend you browse and see what’s on with your interests in mind. By doing so, you’ll be able to get a good idea of what to expect, and more importantly, model your directory and/or VRE sites.
