Is it worth it to purchase directory submissions? Does this actually help your site out? How much should I expect to pay (if it is worth it)? Does anybody have any recommendations on tools or services? I found one site that was really cheap ($12 for 800+ submissions) http://www.prosaris.com/ But they seem to be really really cheap and the domain has only been around for 9 months.. What do you think?
It would be good to get your site listed in the Yahoo directory and DMOZ. Yahoo will cost you and dmoz will take a long time. Google seems to be cracking down on directories as they are cracking down on paid links which is basically what a paid listing is although many disagree.
stop wasting your time in directories. Maybe DMOZ and Yahoo are the only directories that you need to work on.
