Internet gurus have been debating over the free versus paid directory issue for some time now. There was worry about free website hosting versus paid web hosting, and fuss over free e-mail versus paid. In both cases, whether free or paid is better for you, it all depends on what your specific needs are.
The same is true in regards to paid versus free directory listings. Many Search Engine Optimization experts believe that free directory listings having nothing of value listed in them. This is far from the truth. Several directories that do not require you to pay are actually very strict about the listings that are included in their results. On the other hand, majority of users think that paid directories automatically equate to better quality sites. Again, not true. Paid directories can be just as negligent about the review process as any other directory.
Whether you use paid or free directory listings should not depend on cost alone. What matters the most is how relevant the directory is to your website. The next consideration should be the quality of the sites that are listed in the directory. If the chosen directory is full of outdated sites, spam sites, or mis-categorized sites, it’s probably not the best choice of places to list your website.
