Don’t fall for one of these pitfalls.
Running you own job board is an exciting business and indeed and interesting industry to be part of. But it isn’t without it’s own set of pitfalls that you should be aware of.
Choose the right hosting solution
Choosing your hosting is of paramount importance.  Many people who want to start their own job board will go and buy the cheapest suitable hosting. Hosting is hosting, right? Well the answer is both yes and no. Selecting the right hosting is important because search engines look at  where and how your site is hosted and use this to determine the importance of your site thus effecting your rankings.  Cheaper hosting can come in a variety of disguises so when choosing a hosting company I would consider a few aspects.
What is you target market and where is the server located?
Search engines will take into consideration where the server is located and indeed where the domain is registered in order to rank it for the market it servers. If your target market is the US then choose a server located there
Dedicated v’s Shared Server / IP
Hosting your site on a dedicated server tells the search engines one thing. That your site is important enough to warrant this outlay, this would be the best option but an extreme over-kill in most cases. In most cases you should ensure that you have at least a primary domain with dedicate IP. Even if this is on a shared server the message it gives the search engine is that it has its own dedicated space.
Support
Make sure your hosting company has good support (you will need it). You can always check this by visiting their site, a good indicator is if the company has it’s own ‘online chat’. If they do then try chatting with them and see if they can answer your questions. This will give you a good feeling for how the company operate.

Be prepared to add valuable content every day.
Your site will need to become a resource for people looking for work in your chosen niche. Having a job board that ranks well in Google is good enough to start earning money. However in order gain more traffic and become no 1 for your niche you will need to add valuable content and update the site with new information everyday.
Faceless job?
Don’t fool yourself into thinking you can set up the job board, get good rankings and you can sit back and count the money. The third and last important aspect you should consider is that you need to remember that running a job board is not a faceless job. You will need to talk to potential customer and possibly meet them face-to-face. It’s the same as doing business in any other industry, much of the business is done face-to-face.
