    Just make sure that the directory is not filled with spammy titles and descriptions, looks well-edited and is indexed in the search engines. PR is not so important but it is useful sometimes as an indicator. Beware of the fly-by-night directories however.

    If you're questions whether it's worth it spending money on directories, you're literally questions if it's worth spending money for the growth of your business...

    Without paid advertisement...be it for SERP or otherwise...any kind of business, let alone online would find it virtually impossible to succeed. Now what directories to choose and for what reason is entirely upto you. Personally I've seen most paid directories are better maintained. I am talking about purely paid directories and not the ones where free submission is also considered (cuz oftentimes the owner approved those free submissions to build the database which in turn becomes a heap of spammy titles and descriptions. This paid and free structure is not only hard to maintain but also manipulative to "artificially" generate traffic as most free directories receives a lot of traffic (mostly from submitters though...)

    you mean using a soft to do that? that is a complete useless method. i'm talking about manual submission to high rank directories that actually add links daily or at least weekly.

    Directories that only accept quality sites definitely have SEO value, even if they charge a fee. In this video Matt Cutts says this himself...
