Is this Directory Guide by SEOmoz still accurate?

 I think a new list of the top 10 or 20 would suffice for the time being while the rest are being deteremined viable or not.

 thanks Petra, JoeAnt charges a onetime fee of $39.99 USD. I would rather pay the fee.

 The 3 resources you mentioned are stil valuable. A tipp regarding JoeAnt, it is quiet easy to become an editor there, then you don't have to pay for the input.

 In the meantime it might not be a bad idea to add a warning or just take it down.

 To be honest, it's more than a year out of date, and not the best resource. We've talked internally about a replacement, but need to spec it out and find a contractor (and we have so many other improvements/upgrades/features to PRO we're in the process of making). That said, I'll ask the team to look into it further. I do think a great directory list would be a valuable part of PRO content. postscript update: We have a project in process to replace this with something very cool, updatable and more scalable, too. I believe launch ETA is Q3 of 2011. Justin Briggs from Distilled and Cyrus Shepard from Moz are working on this together.

		Central Index Directories
 Hi all, I'm based in the UK and i'm looking to submit to a several directories under the central index umbrella, for example to these directories: http://findit.chad.co.uk/ http://directory.nottinghampost.com http://directory.burtonmail.co.uk/ I've filled my profile out and have submitted to one of the above directories, however when I sign in to one of the other directories it asks me to re-fill out all my details. Is there not a way i can submit to several of these directories by signing in without confirming my telephone number for each one ? Many Thanks in advance Paco Link Building | | paco87230

		Are directories still a valid practice? If so what are some of your favorite and most authoritative directories?
 After combing over several competitor sites I have found many if not the majority of their links are from directories. I am curious to know if individuals/companies/seos etc. still use directories, if so what are some of the favorites? Link Building | | Firestarter-SEO1

		Paid Directory Links
 To my surprise, I couldn't find a clear answer to the questions "Do paid directory links violate Google guidelines?" I know Matt Cutt's recently had a video on paid links, but it didn't really cover paid directory links. Are well-curated directory sites that charge for inclusion violate Google's guidelines? A good example would be the business.com directory. Link Building | | RickyShockley0

		What are the best paid directories today?
 Looking to do some paid directory submissions and was wondering if a) they were still worth the money and b) if you have $500-$1,000 what paid directories would you submit too? I am assuming that BOTW is still on the list, but I rarely every see a BOTW link in any backlink report. Are they still relevant or are they more a sign of quality to the engines rather than an actual link? Same with JoeAnt Link Building | | BraveheartDesign0
