Lycos - worth the money?

[pmkpmk]

A competitor has signed up with Lycos. Of course I can't tell what traffic he gets from it, but it is listed as backlink in G.

They would charge me 199 EUR/year to get a catalogue entry like the one my competitor has. All the immediate benefit I could see is the backlink from a (supposedly) high ranking site. Is that money well spent? The news are full of Lycos having severe financial troubles. Would I spend money on a dead horse?

Lycos is growing better,but its really hard to say now.
