We'd wanted to Skype this for better chance at understanding, but here's a shot via email. Soung thank you for your suggestions and suggestion sites for us to look at and some of your suggestions about what and why we think about what we're doing. For me this is done and as you learn more you will see. Of course there are new and great features and ideas that we can speak of, some we have no experience in, maybe you have a lot, such as "magical searching".
Our original understanding is that the site must meet Webmaster Tools certification levels (mobile friendly, etc.) so we can track everything relative to the action it brings, tracking the CTR toward money. This is, monetize the site. Every square cm of the page is set against income, measured by CTR.
Please Soung, I want to have access to you for your skills at programming. I would love to have access to your marketing guys like Pat. He was very excited when he listened to me about what our goals and missions are and how we can monetize the site at the next level.
The Directory has 4 distinct headers and respective areas: core product customer AdPages in a Directory, Other Directories, general and specific information pages, services for sale.
What's next? Rin sent ideas, you sent ideas, Denny has an idea and it incorporates what is in Rin's idea and your suggestions. We have to be on the same page for what we're doing and why. Fast, Simple, Easy access to vast amounts of specialized information in groups is the goal. And making money. I don't even want to go into banners at this point. We need the simple design done which will show where the banners will be displayed. What, how, when etc for banners will be important next maybe.
Please understand this is a Denny email. Rin is correct that my words are probably too complicated, which I'm fine with but my goal is to move forward. Please help in the best way you can.
