Here's a good thread to read about Looksmart.

Looksmart - Anyone have anything GOOD to say about them?
[webmasterworld.com ]

Lot's of people have a knee-jerk hate response when it comes to Looksmart. Mention LS to some webmasters and you can see their jaws clench. Looksmart has a definite "image problem" with the decision makers in the internet industry. This disgust with LS almost seems like a default reaction, reminiscent of the way people hate their utility company or a weasily politician. Many people would love to see Looksmart dry up and blow away.

However, "image problems" aside, if you read the above thread you will see there exist real advantages to using Looksmart and in many cases you could be missing some opportunities by not listing with LookSmart.
