This is a good solid article on the characteristics of directories which can help you determine if it has value.

I don't know... the guy who wrote this is pretty suspect. Just check out what this fellow had to say about him - http://www.bestinternetresource.info/birblog/2007/07/25/seomoz-rand-fishkin-tries-to-take-revenge-against-paid-directories-%E2%80%93-seo-showdown/

Hi Rand
I just discovered this thread today while checking my blog. Although its a no-follow link that it generated, its still good for traffic-isn't?

Is there anybody who would understand better viral or social marketing than you?

Well, that article was just part of my endeavor to try to verify some of your techniques and I must say http://www.seomoz.org or Rand fiskin rocks with their marketing techniques.

Thanks to you that, my directory is now penalized and is going to be a PR0 after next update. But I am not worried a bit as online is a hobby for me and I am always learning. My real life profession teaches me that, life is always a learning curve and no-body can become 100% in any given field no-matter what he/she tries! But one can learn from mistakes and take it forward - thats life-isn't?

I promise that I would resurrect this directory. I must also admit that as a result of this episode I have been able to develop 4 more directories that adhere 100% to Google guidelines and are rocking serps.

I have learnt a great deal from you--which mostly involve viral marketing/link-baits and social media marketing ( I also follow Neel Patel). The 2008 will be a year that I would devote to learning the naunces of social media marketing and prfect link-baits.

By the way I forgot something..............

Happy New Year -2008 to all.
