How to Determine the value of a Paid Legal Directory

[jfeld222]

I am considering paying for a listing on the legal directory on FindLaw.com, at a cost of $300 per month.

This includes 5 deep links back to our site.

I think the value of the listing and profile is next to 0 other than the SEO benefit to obtain a competitive position on the first page of the google map. But I am having a hard time ascertaining the SEO value.  They have a page rank of 7 (at times 8 in the past).

I have already done many of the other directories, dmoz, BOTW, yahoo! and have a regular blog on my site and lots of content.

Will this contribute any noticeable SEO difference?

Any thoughts? recommendations?  If this will contribute a noticeable SEO difference, then imo it is definitely worth it.

Hi,

All of its SEOMOZ metrics would indicate a positive SEO response. It was cached today, which is also a positive sign. It seems to have general value and information (not just a few words about the category in broken english) Very little PPC, it did not appear to have any Paid home page links. The information is accurate.

Not sure if it will have that huge of an SEO response, as no anchor text is available and the return query URL string is very overly dynamic and alot of the inner pages were not cached and had low metrics.

$300 is a gamble, probably Vegas odds

Have Fun!
