You dont need to spend $ on YBD, BOTW, or any of these other directories that charge for inclusion.

Spend the $ on useful original content either in the form of professional copyrighting or research.

You get quality relevant links through simple link exchange or submitting your sites to niche directories that don't require reciprocation. There is no reason to spend that kind of money on exclusion based directories.
