Here's a list of Paid directories that is sorted by a value rating. You can also use the search to narrow the list to your niche or general directories.
Here are some rankings and reviews of the better paid directories. In addition, here is a list of 2500 paid directories.
Is it better to go through finding paid directories individually or buying a bulk load? I assume the cost of doing it individually is higher, however i expect you can obtain higher quality back links? Opinions?
I recommended running in the opposite direction of any bulk packages, whether it is directories or anything else. Google has had the smarts to detect these for many many years.
Here you can find directories and filter and sort them by type (paid, free), niche, PR, Alexa : Directory Trends
Do you guys think paid links are worth paying for? Personally I feel like there are better ways to get good backlinks.
