Do you think it is worth using this directory?

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.

Should we pay for this attorney directory?
I'm aware of how most directories don't matter and/or have lost significance over the past few years, but in the legal world, it sure seems like this one does: http://www.martindale.com/ I doubt we will ever get many cases from this directory, but it would be a nice link to have...I think. The DA is 88 and the page we would be listed in is a 39. Almost all of our competitors who outrank us have this link as well. Granted, it's not the only link, but it's one I could afford to obtain. Any thoughts or experiences? ***If any of you market for attorneys, and you're outside the Tampa area (don't want to cause any professional conflicts) have you recommended this directory to your clients? Thanks, Ruben

Local SEO - Directory Submissions Not Counting Towards External Links
I'm trying to raise the authority of a clients website. It's a local business so I'm submitting it to various applicable high authority business directories to earn more external links. I've submitted it to about 15 directories so far; however when I run Moz's Open Site Explorer, it doesn't state that any of these directories are linking. It's been about 3 weeks now so I assume that's enough time for the directory submissions to be indexed by Google. Has anyone else run into this problem, and if so how did you solve this so these links are counted?

Should I use RSS Feeds for SEO Purposes?
Hello... I am wondering if RSS feeds are good for SEO purposes... If i have a blog on my e-commerce site that links back into my site, should i then submit my feed to a bunch of RSS feed sites? Please tell me if i should be submitting my feed to all the RSS Feed Blog directories i can find or if that will appear as though i'm trying to gain links in the wrong way, from Google's perspective. For example: http://www.feedage.com/ http://www.feedlisting.com/ .... just to name a few of the directories i've found Thanks

What are the pros and cons of using a link builder? Can link building be outsourced?
Hi, I have great content on my website which I would like to build external links to from other websites. I am told this will increase my domain authority and ultimately help search engine ranking positions. I have very limited time in my hands and now thinking of outsourcing the link building component to a specialist. Is this a good way of doing it? Could you recommend professional link builders?

Trying to use the SEOmoz link building tools but...
all of the directories that are listed seem to be based in the US for US companies - am I missing something? By the way my target audience is solely based in the UK, Thanks, Jason

Link Directory
I am not an SEO expert by any means, just trying to improve the ranking of my own personal real estate site. Are directory links good for backlinks, or are they a waster of time?
