    Wow, I'm pretty surprised about that. It has to be something else I would think.

    "Matt Cutts:

    Hey Marjy . There's always the chance that we'll discount directory links in the future."

    Who would now pay Yahoo directory $300 for some links that might be worthless in the near future? It doesn't bring any real traffic in my experience.

    Is this googles way of telling people not to renew subscriptions?

    Is there any credibility to the rumor of the futility of directory submissions as far as google giving relevance to it is concerned?

    the directory submission process is too old and it is not going to change in few days. so don't worried about it.

    and there is the answer!

    always worth submitting to high quality directories and avoiding the low quality ones. Its easy to check the quality before submission
