One great option to build links to your website is to get listed in a bunch of paid web directories. Many people wonder if there is really any value in these directories and the answer is…absolutely! There are a couple of items to consider when looking at any paid web directory. First of all, make sure that the directory does not use “nofollow” link tags. This will keep the search engines from following the link to the site and you will receive no credit for the link. The other main consideration is the pagerank of the directory. The higher the PR, the more expensive a listing should be. Don’t pay $25 to get listed in a PR1 directory. Using paid directories can be very beneficial to your SEO efforts and are highly recommended.
