I have a request and am looking for some webmasters to try out this new web promotion strategy. It is similar to Adsense in that it involves installing a little bit of code but instead of providing a small section of a page for the code I ask that you just create a whole new webpage for it. The code will then deliver to your site ala Adsense a complete, human edited, fully populated link directory from my server. I manage the links and review the sites for you. You just "rent" me your space.
How many webmasters am I looking for? As many as my server can handle and then some! My idea is this - that by having all these directories on all these websites every one of the links are then exposed to more traffic. More traffic equates to more advertising opportunities and more income for everyone. The income will be generated not from the clicks (as in PPC) but rather from an action (i.e. the sale of a paid link). I offer free links too, as a draw, but there are plenty of incentives for converting to paid links.
If any one is interested you can visit bungeebones.com. And while you are there might as well take advantage of the offer and get a free link back to your site

First of all I think you need a redesign of your site, because it does not look as a web 2.0 project.
Now regarding the directory, can we see an example directory? Does those links have any seo value?

Hello, regarding use of the term "Web 2.0" here is the opening par. from wikipedia "n studying and/or promoting web-technology, the phrase Web 2.0 can refer to a trend in web design and development — a perceived second generation of web-based communities and hosted services (such as social-networking sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies) which aim to facilitate creativity, collaboration, and sharing between users."
BungeeBones is developing the idea of a community of webmasters to co-operate their efforts to have directories on their sites. It is a hosted service as the categories and links are hosted on my server. I am aiming to facilitate collaboration, and sharing between users.
But disagreement on the use of the term "web 2.0" is certainly up for discussion, as what exactly is it anyway? There is a lot of banter about it.
The same article in wikipedia says "Some technology experts, notably Tim Berners-Lee, have questioned whether one can use the term in a meaningful way, since many of the technology components of "Web 2.0" have existed since the early days of the Web".
BungeeBones certainly incorporates all of the following:
" Stephen Fry, who writes a column about technology in the British Guardian newspaper, describes Web 2.0 as:
" It’s actually an idea that the reciprocity between the user and the provider is what's emphasized. In other words, genuine interactivity, if you like, simply because people can upload as well as download".[8] "
It goes on further to state "The idea of "Web 2.0" can also relate to a transition of some websites from isolated information silos to interlinked computing platforms that function like locally-available software in the perception of the user. Web 2.0 also includes a social element where users generate and distribute content, often with freedom to share and re-use. This can allegedly result in a rise in the economic value of the web as users can do more online.[citation needed]"
BungeeBones is interlinked computing platforms that function like locally-available software in the perception of the user and should result in a rise in the economic value of the web as users can do more online
Re "SEO value" I'm not sure what you mean exactly? Is it search engine friendly? Yes, it is. All of the directories are indexed readily by the SEs.
Optimization, as much as can be done with just a plain list of categories, is accomplished through dynamic title and descriptions unique to each hosted directory and for each category. It is a fairly new site and there are still plenty of empty categories but every page that has links is indexed.
The PR debate, though, seems like a waste of time to me. What can possibly be done to a plain list of category names that could judtify any significant difference in PR? As a submitter to a directory I want to know how many visitors my link is exposed to. Since PR doesn't take traffic into account I don't place much value on it.
But the Web 2.0 attribute I like the best is the one tht says a Web 2.0 site gets better the more people use it. That will be the effect for most people using BungeeBones as their directory, instead of launching their own (in most cases).
