Paid directories have historically been one of the best link building strategies for Search Engine Optimization. Back in the golden days of SEO, where it was much easier to manipulate Google for SERP’s, paid directories were thought of as being the ‘holy grail’ of link development.

Some great stuff discussed in this post. I’m curious about directory sites that are nonpaid (provide free links) and focused mostly on revenue from adsense or some other advertising. As long as the site is keeping the directory clean in providing relevant results, is there any reason to be concerned?
