Some Directories are rubbish but others are not and use Anchor text and relativity of content. I'll go further and on record in a public forum.
If Google wish to become a totalitaristic empire - determining how people earn their money in their website designs and charges then they are on one road and one road only. Downhill.

Imagine how many spammy or low quality web sites already dominate the popularity of high quality sites like ours, simply investing some money to buy some links, just to manipulate the heart of Google - to achieve a higher popularity (
PR). And you can be sure that our sites have been hurt for years from those
PR thiefs.
Who said we cannot buy or sell links? Sure not Google!!! We definitely can do that. We only have to make sure that the nofollow attribute is there. Why not? If it was true what I am reading all over the place that PageRank does not affect rankings, why don't those guys buy or sell links? Only because of the green bar? That is very strange to be honest. Can you explain me that? I am getting confused somehow.
After all, I hope I made clear enough why buying and selling links is unethical and unprofessional, and make for Google more complicated to serve us high quality and relevant results.
Thanks Google that they are taking over to solve this everlasting abuse.
Any further comments David?
