Will MSN Small Business help my ranking?

[andertoons]

So I'm thinking about ponying up my $50 to get listed in the MSN Small Business directory. Will this help my position on Google?

It will help as much as any other link from any other page with the same PR and number of links on a page... a lot of those are free and don't cost $49

...it may actually help a little more in that if we believe in Hilltop, then this is a link from what *MAYBE* considered an authority site, so the link *MAY* carry a *LITTLE* more weight.

The other small advantage of a listing there is the anchor text links you can get to deeper pages ... which *MAY* help a little more.

I didn't buy one.... Came close a few times - but it's a recurring $50....

Meaning they will charge you every year.....
