Typically they get a bunch of submitters and then they just die off. It makes no sense, why not just open a free directory?
People don't understand that no one makes money with a directory.. bidding or paid without good promotion, networking and traffic. Seems like 99% of these are just wasting their time, looking for an easy $15 or so, hoping the directory will just "magically" get bids like bigweblinks and Zorg simply because they announce it.

Yeah, I guess the major issue is the inflation of bids. Adding quality listings periodically does add to the directory, but in regards to doing that in a bid directory, I think it takes away from the bidders competition in the beginning.
They may run when they see 20 listings already that were added by the Admin.
It all depends I guess.
