Hey Ann, I would be interested in learning more about SEO classes. Where do you go for them?

I suspose I can sum up my position by saying that if you are going to pay to be in a directory, Yahoo is my first choice. Then it's a hodge podge of BOTW, business.com, etc.

Do these paid directories help? Clearly they do. How much do they help you in the Google rankings? We have no idea, but we think that they do...a little.

Too expensive for the ROI. You can get similar results from BOTW(cheaper) or Dmoz(free)

...only if a DMOZ editor gets you in there. I've had it take a year to get listed in the open directory project.
