Reputable directory, zero PR page, worth paying for it?

I've noticed that many of the best directories, BOTW for instance have inner pages that are zero pr, which is where my link would go.

I've always wondered if it was worth it? In the past I'd only pay for a listing if the page had a high pr value. Will Google see the link and give more trust to my site? Is merely having a link in a high quality directory worth the price?

Or are links on zero pr pages worthless?


Thanks!

google has stopped showing the PR from a lot of inner pages to deter link selling for PR
it doesnt actually mean the page has any less value than it did before but now you have to look a little harder as to if its worth it
if the page is indexed, cached lately, doesn't contain a large number of links and is in your niche then it should be

 

Pr isnt the be all and end all.

Pr in some form is importan but building relevant content o your site is the most important thing.

 

very precise point, thanks for sharing...

 

IMO the most important thing is that whether the site is de-index,
if you cannot find the site by typing the domain,
just save your money.

 

THANK YOU! Appreciate your helpful response.

I've noticed some of my directory listings in the serps even though the pr is grayed out.

 

I agree with what was said above. If the site is old, well trusted etc i still pay to put my sites in. For example BOTW, Joe Ant.

 

That's good, hope I will not receive spam emails selling pr6 link.

 

I'm getting spam emails selling pr6 links that are on the homepage.

 

I could only imagine what this guy is going threw with his PR9 directory

World's Oldest University Directory PR9

Seems its up for sell now though

BOTW has some inner pages PR5
but the deeper you go they lower the PR is dropping
but still their link could be thought of as an authority link
