There are some paid directory listing that would be worth a look if you have some cash burning a hole in your pocket - Yahoo! ($299/year with a PR8), Best of the Web ($200 with a PR7) and a more affordable Clush ($20/year and a PR7).

Help me understand the above. If buying links is a bad idea then why is it a good idea to pay for entry into directories? Are they not the same thing? I would have thought a well anchored link from a relevant (whether it's rented or not) would outweigh a directory listing. I dont understand why these directories carry the weight they do due to them being human edited, there's a flaw in the system being the people who somehow manage to make a decison as to what goes in and what doesn't.
