    Where did Google said that ?
    Matt Cutts blog says - no problem with directories.

    Even in my directory, many big SEO companies submit their project sites.

    Yep, directory links (paid and free) are good.

    Paid directories have more budget to spend on promotion then free directories. So, paid directories are good to do submissions.

    I don't get you?? where to submit??

    Paid directories are usually heavily promoted, so they could bring you better PR, SERP and direct traffic.

    But of course it depends on price you're willing to pay.

    Disadvantages of free directories usually are that they don't live long, links are deleted and they could list many spammy sites.

    In your link building I would leave open all options, including paid directories ;)

    john scoot @ v7n did an experiment.

    paid submissions brought a better PR than the free ones.....

    it's worth it as long as you found a good quality directory, with at least a decent PR.

    I don't think it;s not worth it, even if I don't use such submissions. But it's just a matter of me not having the money. I agree that some of the paid directories are also hegely promoted and my site would benefit. But I just cannot afford this
