I had an online business and I have tried the paid web directories. I have to say that some of them are really good and help and others are just a waste of time and money. Some of the best ones out there are even free. You just have to do your research and be careful when it comes to things like this. You want to make sure your site is out there but you don’t want to pay for that service that is not going to help you but rather just take your money.
