That's fair comment; all you will lose is your time and or money; and that's a quick calculation you have to make.

But there is one safeguard - NEVER link back to a directory / link farm / link exchange. Inbound links from cr*p directories will NOT harm you unless 'part of a pattern', so if your outgoing links are clean, you have nothing to fear.

But like all SEO, it's a matter of using resources sensibly. Why waste time and money on cr*p :)

In general, a little bit of paranoia is advised on the web ;)
