Hi, I have been working on submitting my site to a number of free directories, but I frequently see paid directories. Does anybody know what advantage there is to submitting to a paid directory, versus a free directory? It seems kind of wasteful to spend 5-10 dollars to be added to a directory when I can be added to a different one for free, especially when they both have the same PR on the page I would be placed on. Thanks in advance!
Alot of paid directories have PR. Most have a relatively high PR and can be worthwhile, particularly if its a niche directory and not a general directory. If both free and paid have the same PR, then in most cases there is little point in paying. It's said that Google doesnt count all directory links anyway, so you could be wasting your money. Free ones do for me, its enough to get me indexed and up to PR3 or so.
dont go with paid dictories if they dont have good pr, you can take back links from good PR sites instead.
Paid directories are better quality directories. They have less links. You get accepted faster. And the search engines give them more weight due to the quality of their links.
I have been submit to most Free Regular Links Directories and never try Paid Directories. My Website PR3 coming from Link Exchange and Submit to Free Directories!
yesterday i saw one directorie with PR 0 and Alexa 0. This admin want to exchange links and add my site if i have more then PR1! Xaxaxa! "Smarty" man.
