Show HN: I analyzed 50 directories to see what makes money
directoryideas.aiHi HN
Over the last few weeks, I analyzed 50+ real directories to understand what’s actually working in 2025.
Instead of opinions or hype, I focused on:
Real traffic data (SimilarWeb)
SEO & keyword shifts (Ahrefs / Semrush)
Public revenue signals
Category-level patterns (what’s growing vs saturated)
The goal was simple: If someone were starting a directory today, where should they focus — and what should they avoid?
I turned these findings into a free Directory Trends Report 2025
