IS it worth to pay for listing on search engines?

hi, as the subject says, im wondering about if its worth the money to pay for listing on serval search engines who only accept paid submissions?

Is the traffic really that good from those sites or is it just the PR people are "whoring" when they pay?

regards

well, im not sure about that one. because i've never tried paid submissions. but for me free submissions were also effective.

Well, i am maybe just not patient enough.. i want real traffic "right now" and i know it can take a while to get pure and good searchengien traffic worth talking about.
But one of my sites has no traffic from SE and im getting frustreted, and i cant get it submittet to dmoz aswell.. has triend now for a full year... and the past me down as staff at dmoz to past up the speed..

so, i will still submit to what ever i can find of friendly SE's

I think that the Internet should be free for everyone cause it doesn´t owns to anybody !
I recommend DMOZ cause they took so lon to review your site but they earn nothing !
That´s to finallity of the Internet !

Dmoz er great for those who gets there sites listed, but for us who has tried, even with a 110% correct submit, it sucks big time. It should not take a year or + to get listed to anything - Dmoz has to get more busy in the future or it get ignored by more and more.
