Should actors pay to be on agency websites

I've been meeting some agencies and they want me to pay to be on their website? My feeling is legit agencies do not ask for fees except percentage of work? Anybody have advise or experience with these?

Do NOT pay!
Agencies get their money directly from clients who pay THEM to find people. Websites that request a membership fee are not ones you want to associate with. You are better off getting the official SAG talent agency list and finding out more about those establishments. Most agencies accept simply a headshot/resume mailed to them. They then store you in a database and will contact you if a client is searching for your particular type.
In short, stay away from scams or agencies that request upfront money.
