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
