Niche directories might be slightly different, but one thing for certain is that, if they are not already worth less as linking opportunities such a demotion is in the post, and who wants to get links that are going to depreciate rather than appreciate in value.

That doesn't mean that I'm not off to check out Vortal right now! What's the URL for it btw?
Looking at my site logs I get hardly if not any traffic from directories.If the entry is free I will always go for it (any advertising is good advertising) also it brings(even if no body clicks on it) incoming links to the site therefore increasing page rank.
