Webhost Directory

[admin]

I started working on a Web hosting provider directory last summer, do you think it would be an asset to our Gigarank website?

The reason I mention this is that another free hosting provider called 000webhost have a web hosting directory on their website and seems to be doing pretty well.

Here`s our offering: http://gigarocket.net/directory

Wouldn't that be competition to us? Think what would be great maybe is to create something like that independently of the Gigarank Website as a separate Directory, and then cash in with advertising?

Looks as though there are quite a few people who are doing something like this for paid hosts. The webhosts then get graded accordingly.

Here are a few of them:

Although I do agree you are probably right, I had a thought in my head that it could generate additional traffic, maybe not the traffic we require!

I'm not an expert in SEO Chris, so why not give it a try and see what happens. You're looking at it from a pure SEO specialist point of view, which is the right place if one is running a business. I'm almost certain the traffic would be good from more than one point of view that I as a non-specialist can't see.

In my opinion everyone with an IQ higher than 100 will have some sort ad-blocker.
I don't like the idea of creating a page with links to other hosting providers unless these providers pay you monthly. It would be like free publicity.

I have no doubt, considering your (DJB) experience in this Business and Internet generally, that you wouldn't mention this idea if you don't have a feeling or something like that...that it could be useful to GigaRank. I am not an expert on such things, it just sounds a little bit like offering competition a promoting space on your own Website, like Genesis mentioned...maybe a backlinks should be required ...
But a Webmaster Directory could be even better ...you provide to Companies, Freelancers, Websites ...that offer services and freebies to Webmaster (most of the Gigarank users are webmaster) ...promoting space on GigaRank and they could recommend or suggest GigaRank Hosting to their visitors...

GigaRank, after all could provide them a lot of potential users of their services, and logically ,their visitors/users are mostly webmasters, and they need Hosting Services ...
