Can someone please help me with these questions 1.Is it worth paying for directories (Paid directory ?) 2.Suppose a directory has domain PR 5 but category PR 0, is it worth paying like $50 ? Thanks for any advice
What you want is to be listed on a directory page that actually gets hit by Google for some of the terms on the page. Search Google for the page title or a snippet of text from the page. If it shows up then you'll probably get some good link juice that will raise you in the SERPs. Higher PR and Alexa traffic can you help you narrow the list of directories you need to check. I'd start with directories in your niche then work your way out to general directories.
