It was probably worth the $70 although I could have gotten a better return spending the money somewhere else. The directories don't show up in google sitemaps. They do show as backlinks in yahoo. when it comes to directories, there are really only 2: yahoo and dmoz. Yahoo costs a fortune to list in and dmoz is basicly impossible to get a listing. So, maybe 1000 submissions to low directories are equal to 1/2 a submission in yahoo. Time will tell. I paid a guy oversees $70 bucks to submit my site to 1000 directories.
