This is a really good unbiased article. There’s only one issue I have with it and that is the suggestion of using various anchor text. Whilst jeff is correct in that it will help your search rankings, it could pose a problem getting accepted by a lot of directories.

My directory will ONLY accept the official business / website name for the anchor text and a lot of other reputable directories will also do the same.

I suggest you check out some of the listings in the directory first to guage what is acceptable and what isn’t before submitting!

Directory submissions can work for very niche sites. I have a couple of sites that rely on links only from free directories. They’re ranking decently for their niche and if submissions are done well targeting a small niche, one can still get results. I use a submission service called Directory Maximizer to have my site submitted and I’ve seen decent results for highly targeted terms. It might not work for highly competitive search terms (haven’t tried it) but works for me and plus, as someone’s rightly said above, don’t think it will ever harm you.
