Hello,

I am operating some small niche directories, a large dmoz-style directory (which is brand new) and now a large niche directory which not only offers links to other sites, but say guides and articles related to each category... One can argue that Wikipedia is doing the same..

One of my friends who is a marketing professional (I am not) has suggested that I move on with this model and when I manage to get some quality traffic in to start charging for inclusion or start charging for top placement.

What I am looking for when reading this forum is ways to improve my directory to move it beyond the usual dmoz-style model and add features which would make someone visiting it want to bookmark and reference it in the future.
