Paid directories are great for link building and getting high quality backlinks. Usually paid directories receive huge traffic and give you the most benefit for your submission.

“DoFollow is the opposite of “NoFollow”. The no follow tag tells the search engines not to follow the link and not to pass on any credibility to any other web sites.
