Really? No one is complaining here. I just know the directory means nothing. That directory was dead in 2009.

Seen those same arguments plastered all over the internet from people who are boo hooing about not getting into to dmoz and their reasons for why it sucks. Sure, it may be an old and out dated directory but what you fail to realize is that while a dmoz link is not any better than any other link from a PR 7 website its still a link from a PR 7 website. Try to understand before you listen to all the hype remember anybody can own a blog...

I'm no expert on this, but isn't the PR of the page that your link is on have more impact than the PR of the website itself. And of course, the PR is just referencing links, not so much the content (although they often go hand in hand).
Which leads me to...the Yahoo Directory and Business.com. My renewals are here. Should I pay another year?

This is true; but, the Domain Authority of the overall site does influence the power of the link. Keep in mind link building to your directory page can easily solve low pr inner pages
. I don't know about you but I've always built links to high authority pages linking to me. Consider it link laundering.

usually for non-insurance related (non-niche) manual blog comments, I go after pages with PR, but for anything else like guest blog posts, links on resource pages, the domain authority of the root domain means a lot more. Ex: if Ehealth, had a directory page for local health insurance agents, you probably wouldn't care that it was PR N/A or PR 0, you just be excited to be getting a link from ehealth.
I don't think you need to renew the Yahoo directory, I have a health insurance site that I purchased at a Go Daddy auction a couple years ago, it has a link from the Yahoo directory, it's still live, and I've never renewed it.
how much is the business.com renewal?

I believe it is $299. And one correction. I am not in it but was thinking about adding a site to it.
Good news on Yahoo. Maybe I'll hold off and see if it stays there!

Lots of domains in Yahoo are grandfathered in. For new links, the fee is annual.
