    if $200 is 2% of ur overall promotion budget then its worth, one listing should not take major part of your promotions overall expence.

    This isn't necessary through any longer. It all depends on trust etc.

    The domain name is excellent, but if you have it at the bottom of the page with 500 other links, no.

    I believe its not worth it. How much traffic do you expect to get from Business.com? If none, then just having a link on a PR5 site is not worth the $199.

    If there are 500 paid links on that page you are buying, doesn't that mean you will be paying $199 a year for a PR5 link divided by 500? 1/500th of the PR juice potential.

    I think you need to consider two factors one is will it drive quality traffic(not just traffic) to your site and would reckon you to read google webmaster blog they say it doesn't matter if your site is being linked on PR 5 or PR 10 as long as your site is refered by a relevant site it is good enough for google to know that your site is alive.

    It does provide SEO value, trust and authority (some PR too), but it doesn't mean you should pay just for that. If you're really serious about the project you run, there's no question whether you should get included or not. It's a big plus for your business.
