You might find it valuable to read the recent SEOmoz post about link directory best practices at http://www.seomoz.org/blog/seo-link-directory-best-practices. It talks a lot about good directories, then links to the recently updated list of directories that SEOmoz has compiled.

No ways, i would never use this for aqcuiring a link.
The price is ridiculous and Ryan said, Google will slam this site one of these days and there goes down $139.00 .
For $139.00 i would rather invest that in other link building techniques. This one is a NO NO

Do you think it is worth using this directory?
No.
The site violates Google's guidelines for a directory site. It is likely Google is aware of the site and has devalued all the links so they have no value for Google ranking. Even if the links are not valued today, it is likely any time Google would become aware of the site and devalue it's links.

I think it al depends on a lot of factors. Personay i would never pay $ 139 since you probably wont get an work out of it. I think you should find out first how many listing they have and what your change is to get work from it.( i think you want to get work from there)
You might find a lot of free or paid but way less local directories where the change of getting a project from is much bigger.
So do some research first but not just pay the fee and hope you'll be getting project.

Do You Risk A Penalty From Local Paid Directories in 2022?
Hi there, I have a client who wants to advertise in a local directory along the lines of "find your nearest plumber". The directory only has paid listings and they are follow links and they also mention your site or generated landing page may get a nice bump on google. Is there a risk that they may get a penalty for using this directory? The client wants to use it regardless of if it gives them an SEO boost but obviously wants to avoid any penalties at all costs. Thoughts on this? Thanks in advance

When buying used domains, how do i see the links pointing to that domain? OSE not showing links
when buying used domains, how do i see the links pointing to that domain? Sometimes the open site explorer doesn't show any links to the domain, especially if the domain is parked. Obviously a domain for sale with 1000 domains linking to it has lots of SEO Value right? Thanks mozzers!

Using brand domain for easy verbally said with 301 redirect to exact match.net for a site
I have recently bought an exact match.net for a keyword with no hyphens (on the fence about hyphens, read so many different views on here). From looking around it seems that not all solicited links that I am interested in use anchor text, but more significantly exact match domain would be like automatic anchor text when anyone from the general population posts a link to your site. I sell print books and am thinking of keeping the non-keyword domain in them so they are easy to say and type, while using the exact match domain for everything else online which the non-keyword domain would 301 redirect to. I don't do any programming and will use cPanel on my webhost to do the 301 redirect, I already have one 301 to go to the www subdomain so that would make two 301's. This might sound quite straight forward to many here but it's fairly new to me and I've not seen cPanel mentioned here yet, so was wondering if I am going about it the right way.

BOTW.Org - Worth It?
I noticed that BOTW.org has gone from a historic PR6 to a PR4 currently. They also have gone up significantly in price for $69 or so to $149 annually or $299 one-time fee. This is quite high and with PR4 now, I'm not sure if it's really worth submitting to for this price. Agree / Disagree? If you like this post, please help & give me a Big Thumbs Up!

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?

Do you think my homepage can still be optimized ?
Hi all ! Do you think my homepage can still be optimized ? Here is the URL : http://www.proximeety.com Of course I'm not only speaking about the home page but I also think about the pages structure, links, etc. The fact is that my collegues and I are working hard on our SEO since 7 years and the result is that we still see our websites going down in the SERPS during months... What are we doing wrong ? Our opponents don't seem to be more backlinked or more optimized... I personnaly think that there should be a big mistake on our site that penalize us and our SEO but I can't find what it is... Can you help us ? Thank you in advance !
