Which directories are worth paying?

You know the old saying, the more the merrier! Last month I had concentrated on getting only directory links. So far, two of those directories are showing up as backlinks for a total 3. One gave me two And as Jessica so aptly pointed out, once they are out there, they are there forever...

one thing you really want to look out for before spending any money is to make sure that the pages are indexed in the major search engines and that the links are static links that search engines will follow.

Excellent point seobook. I had concentrated only on free links and free submits. When a payment is required, I pays to be a little more demanding in the ROI. Especially if its an annual charge. No sense throwing good money after bad.
