    I would recommend avoiding paid directories completely. Instead, look for SEO or Web 2.0 opportunities.

    Directories (in my experience) are over-priced and under-visited. You will probably get more for your money through something like a Facebook campaign.

    Why not just get links from dofollow blogs for free? I used to use paid directories but it doesnt seem like they are worth the money anymore.

    None, all overated. Use directories for seo purposes. If you're gonna pay for anything, pay for PPC, banner ads on related sites etc

      Directories can help with SEO, but I never consider them traffic drivers.

    Are there anyone here who have a listing on yahoo directory? If so, how much on average traffic does it send per month? I was also considering purchasing a listing both for SEO and Traffic. Also, what about Business.com?

      Business.com is on my list as well. That is the reason I made post here to see if anyone have luck with other directories.

    Directories are utterly pointless. I don't even consider them for SEO purposes.

      I added a site to Yahoo directory and my ranking shot up in Google.

      So I did get more traffic - but not directly from Yahoo.

      That was a little over a year ago.
