What I meant was that there some directories that have been building editorial trust for years. With trust, came links and everything, so they became paid directories.
Free directories are mostly without incoming link and no content to attract traffic and links. If you check a directory list, based on incoming links, you'll see that there are much less directories with lots of incoming links, than those without.
Not to mention that there are some directories that actually drive direct traffic (albeit in one-digit numbers, such as DMOZ, Yahoo, Business.com, etc).
Likewise, I doubt free directories (except DMOZ) give a noticeable boost with the search engines, as they have few links.
Could you please give some examples and reasons why free directories bring more traffic to the websites?
