In fact, with 1 recent client, we submitted individual link requests to over 400 search engine friendly directories in this year, and less than 30 links now show up in Yahoo Site Explorer! A pretty sad state of affairs eh? Guess it's back to quality content creation & publication again eh? :-) lol Seriously though, MOST directories are a waste of time these days. Useful perhaps for getting a new site spidered, but not worth too much time & effort for valuable link building. If you thought u could cheat the system, you were wrong!
