Bid for Placement Directory
There seems to be a lot of bid for placement directories showing up all over the web. I’m not sure if this is just a fad or if it’s something that will stick around for a while. I understand that it is an interesting business model for the directory owner, and I am curious as to whether or not it’s just something for the directory owner to benefit or if it is perhaps something that really is useful for the end user.
As an end user or website visitor I could see that it would be interesting to see how much people are paying (talk about transparency!). I’m wondering what would happen if Google, for example, decided to show exactly how much each advertiser was paying right beside each paid ad.
