I would like to find out more cheaper quality directories. I'm looking for $30 and less for site submission.
So far I submitted to Ajdee.com and Linkopedia.com.
Any other suggestions?

I appreciate your response but most of these sites charge more than $30 and (or) many of them are just not close to our criteria of decent sites. We will keep looking and try to put up list of quality internet directories. Maybe even a website.

I think the best value of all web directories I've found is www.searchmonster.org. In addition to a directory listing, they give you admin tools to post articles, press releases, and a web review. Also, you are automatically enrolled in their link exchange program.
Their distribution is unique. They give away their directory out free for download in a small Flash (.swf) file. Meaning the potential for traffic is high. I have their directory on my site at www.cfwebsource.com
I think they are fairly new, but I'm guessing they will grow rapidly.

I remind you that self promotion is against TOS. Please don't SPAM these forums. It is enoying. Posting your url is not good  (you are suposed to keep it in your profile), especially on your first post. The recomendation you are giving a directory that nobody knows about makes it abious it is A: Yours or B:Your bosses. By posting unlikely claims
I think the best value of all web directories I've found is [Url not quoted to avoid braking TOS]
makes you look bad, as everybody in this forum, I believe, would disagree on this statement.
In addition to a directory listing... Also, you are automatically enrolled in their link exchange program.
automatic link exchange... hum, sounds like a good way of really hurting your rankings.
They give away their directory out free for download in a small Flash (.swf) file.
Sounds like scumware to me.
I have their directory on my site at www.cfwebsource.com I think they are fairly new
I always inter link my own sites too  .
P.S. I haven't checked the sites mentioned as I don't linke to give clicks to SPAMERS

Sorry, but you're wrong. I found it in freesticky and thought it was really good stuff. I appologize for sharing my opinion, but I thought that's what we are here for.
lici asked a question, I answered. I gave my site as an example. I have nothing to gain by spamming my site in this forum.

Yes that is what we are here for. I thought you were trying a vain attempt of hidding self promotion under "this is the best site in the world". If I was rude I apologice. But it was your first post, and you stated that this small directory "gives the best value for your money", after adding a link to it. If the directory is really not yours, and you really believe this statement, I sugest you should try some reall first tear directories like yahoo and looksmart (these are defenitively not my sites). I just have a hard time believing that some people actually believe that "the best money" for a directory comes from a directory no one knows about.

Giving your site URL as an example, is againsed TOS. If you really whanted to give it as an example, you can ask people to check your profile. Pretty much any spam that bring human traffic to a site means the owner of the site has something to gain from spam (the balence of gaining/loosing is a delicate one that determines this desission together with morality)

I don't have the kind of money that the Yahoo directory is asking--what is it now, about $300 Looksmart is a PPC and requires a lot of money. Searchmonster charges 29.95, but I got listed free because I signed-up as an editor. They ask you to put their banner on your site and if someone signs-up coming from your banner click, they pay you.
Another note. You called yahoo and looksmart "first tear directories" and I know they are good for increasing traffic, but if you were to "brave it" and check out searchmonster for yourself instead of making statements about something in which you have no experience. You may see want I meant by "value". I have not found any directory offering the things searchmonster is offering. Whether I get any value out of being listed remains to be seen.
Finally, I do appologize for including my url. I sell nothing at my site and receive no money for increased traffic. I should of used someone elses site as an example.

Ok, you convinced me, this directory, I think, is not yours. I apologice, I just see too much spam in these forums, and it does get to me.
I braved it. Alexa 101 thousand, pr5. Not a bad link for 30 bucks. I was surprised. Thank you for pointing it out, and sorry for any rudeness. Welcome to the forums, and thanks for showing me something I did not know about. I may purchace a link myself. Please accept my appologies.
Welcome
Cheers,
Nicolas

Yes, link drops can be a problem in some forums.
I know that the administrators here delete anything that looks dubious, and will continue to do so in the future.
Several posts from the last few days are no longer here I see, as of some time earlier today.
