Yahoo Paid directory - Worth the Money?
-
I was thinking of paying money to be in the Yahoo directory, is it worth it?
-
Instead of putting all of your money into one link that you may not even get you could try and get 3, or four links from other higher rated directories that cost less.

"ethically" by buying links? SEO is funny
-
I am in the photography and wedding industry going for local keywords and it is super hard to get quality links from anybody, because they are all my competitors. I am on the first page for a few of my keywords, but I am getting tired of being at #7 and want to get to #1 ethically.

Steven-Depends on your competitors and if you are focused on local. If you don't have a lot of competition for your keywords, and you aren't focused on local, than it isn't because you an generate the same value doing a variety of things that are less expensive. If you are in competitive situation and need local search, then bite the bullet and spend the money because it will add value.
Out of 100 clients that are focused on local and are in competitive markets, we have tested it on over 70% and it has been worth the investment.
Hope this helps..

Is it a good idea to have some backlinks point back to your business listing on the various directories?
During my link building campaign Ive been doing competitive research. I noticed that one of my competitors, who ranks very well organically and locally, has several back links pointing back to his business listing page on the various directories, such as Manta, Yellowbot, and so forth. Ive seen one of their profile pages with a PA as high as 65, where mine has a PA of 1. They seem to be heavily involved in spammy and shady techniques. This is why I'm asking if this is a recommended practice?
