    I'm with fryman on this one.

    I don't even have time to submit to all of the free ones. I believe my sites are great resources and they should be included in most directories since the provide a resource to visitors. Therefore I wouldn't pay. I'd rather pay for adwords, that gets me a guaranteed visitor.

    Given the number of decent free directories and other ways to boost ranking...these are a hard sell in my book. You will need to REALLY differentiate the value in my mind.

    There are plenty of free directories that give you a link using a redirect tracking script or a dynamic link. They are all next to useless to me. There seems to be so very few that give you a decent static link. However, most of the paid directories do give a static link. That is the reason why I am willing to pay a few bucks for the link.

    Actually, people do pay for links, if they are good quality links.

    one time fees are the best. It's better to pay and forget about it. Also you should have listings for free for a while, maybe a month or so get it going then make it pay. If you do make it free i will gladly add a couple sites. I'm sure many people will as well.

    I wouldn't suggest charging anything until your big enough to pull in sites or get to a place where other sites want to be listed in your directory.
    Like fryman said: there are free ones all over the place that pass pr just like the ones you have to pay for. Good Luck, I hope you make a small fortune. :)

    oh and yes...one time small fees are the best..if your going to charge.
