The Blogitive Directory Network is Open
The Blogitive Directory Network is Open
We have just launched the Blogitive Directory Network. This new network will allow bloggers to add a simple directory to their blog. This product is initially for bloggers who use WordPress, and maintain their own domain name. Here are a few facts about the Blogitive Directory Network (BDN):
1.The BDN application is a simple plug in for WordPress.
2.Bloggers maintain complete control over their directory. You decide the price you wish to charge per submission (min. $5.00). You also have the option of approving or rejecting any submissions to the site; nothing is posted to your site without your approval.
3.Bloggers can submit their own directory submissions for free. This is your directory to use as you like.
4.Blogitive passes through 85% of the revenue directly through to the blogger. If you charge $20 for a directory submission, you get $17.
BDN Requirements
The only requirement to participate in BDN is that you have a WordPress blog, and that you have your own domain name.
How to get submissions
There are three ways to get paid submissions to your directory
1.You should promote your directory on the first page of your blog. This will allow your visitors to easily find out about your directory and possible submit their own site.
2.Secondary submissions – After a site owner submits their site to any of the directories in BDN, they are taken to a page that lists all the other directories. This will provide you with some great traffic from people looking to get their site out through directories.
3.Direct Blogitive Offers (DBO’s) – Blogitive has many clients who are interested in submitting their sites to directories on the Web, and our internal sales staff seeks more clients everyday. We will help site owners submit their site to directories in our network by sending out offers directly to the bloggers. These will be at a set price that may be lower than your normal price. Keep in mind that you do not have to accept any offer received. We encourage you to review the submission and make sure it would add value to your directory.
How to sign up
If you are already a Blogitive blogger, you simply log-in, click on “Blogs”, select which blog you want to add the directory too, and you will find the WordPress plug in. After that you are ready to go. The screencast will walk you through a pretty thorough process:

How payments work
Payments to bloggers work very much the same as they have been. We will be paying weekly through Paypal. At this time, we only pay through Paypal.

Edward - This is WordPress only for now. Look for a non-WordPress version to come in late June.
