    There are many paid directories out there. Which ones are worth the money?

    Not all of them are worth to be paid. :) You may consider this list - Strongest Directories

    I would recommend you to stick with authority and old aged directory personally. Here is a few

    Actually they sell something that you could on yourself. They simply gather all the lists, directories and search engines that there are, make a simple software so that it could automatically submit an url to all of them and then sell it...If you don't have what to do with your moes, then buy one :D

    When it comes to paid directories, the primary player in the game is still Yahoo Directory. Purchasing a listing in the yahoo directory will set you back a couple hundred bucks (actually, $299 as of right now), but if you get listed, the link credibility will be worth the money spent.

    It is important to get your site listed on some paid directories at least.

    I would have to disagree. There are some very strong paid directories that have standards, truly edit submissions and try to be resourceful to visitors.

    I completely agree with you snowbird, don't mind the opinion of noobs., Yahoo, BOTW and other paid directories are worth every penny spent.

    which free directories does :
    link building
    promote their site
    does designing work for their site - infact i see many free dirs don't even change the default "phplinkdirectory" logo :eek:
    approves the link ONTIME
    cares that link goes in appropriate categories
    cares that no bad neightbourhood links are there

    if you find such, then worth submitting...

    BTW pagestrength tool is gone

    Well, maybe. I'm in the first 2 and others, but I don't get a whole lot of traffic from any directories, these included.

    Wow, I checked out the list of paid directories. Could you imagine actually paying for all that. That's a lot of money to get traffic to your site.

    I'm going to stick with free ways to promote my sites.

    The directory list on Aviva is very old and many directories there arent half as strong as they used to be then. But I do agree with your reference to 5 other directories.
