    I was thinking of submitting to the annual directory at Business.com, the cost is $199 and then $149 annually. Is it worth the $?

    it will be a strong backlink,..it will show people you are serious about your website...it might help in pr a lil,..but other than that maybe more for reputation..just my opinion

    Business.com got Page Strength of 9 according to SEOmoz Page Strength Tool So it would be real value of your money if spent there.

    You will get the money back in form of visitors as the business.com is a niche directory so a lot people browsing the directory may happen to see yur website

    Business.com is a quality site and it was within your budget so that makes it value for your investment:)

    Others may want to spread the investment over say 2,3,4 or 5 sites when spending that amount.

    But it suited you and you made the purchase thats great:cool:

    That would be the best way to look at what's worth.

    Good glad you took the chance..

    Now show us some stats of the traffic its sending you :)
    So others might take the dare.

    As someone mentioned above that niche directories will get many uniques
    and are targeted.

    thx

    Only used this for one of my sites, I haven't gotten any visitors in 4 months from it.

    IMHO yahoo dir is the best investment as far as expensive premium dirs. The listing is at least as good as a business.com and you get regular traffic from yahoo.
