    Hi Everybody,

    I am planning to make directories for local areas with a population of between 20K and 40K.

    The problems I foresee are:
    - By building small directories I may have a problem competing with the big directories like Yellow Pages, Yelp, True Local & Hotfrog etc.
    - How do I build my brand if I only produce truly small localized directories?
    - What do forum readers find best - many small directories or one large directory?

    One possibility that comes to mind re branding is to choose a brand name, say ABC and then run many sub domains like. http://townA.abc.com and http://townB.abc.com etc.
    Alternatively I simply purchase individual domains like www.searchtowna.com then www.searchtownb.com The problem I foresee with this is that I may not be able to get my first choice domain name and then I have no branding, simply a mass of individual domains.

    Any help on this problem is most welcome.

    Kind regards,
    davmac40
