It's a three part series Ted. I guess you never made it to the end of the post where I said: But before you run off and start submitting your site to every directory you can find, you need to be able to evaluate the power of specific directories.... Stay tuned for part 2 of this series.. The goal of this series was that by the END of all three posts, SEO beginners would fully understand a) the power of directories for link building b) what to look out for when submitting c) general downfalls to avoid and how to make the best use of resources mentioned in 1st post So, sorry that you were disappointed after the first post, I guess you're just anxious for the next post in the series :) "Just wanted to point out that when one write a tutorial type post, they should do enough research from target audience’s point of view to let them make the most of it."

Not really. There are PR0 directories that are ranked high in the list. "Even though PR isn’t the only way to judge a directory, it’s quick and easy; hence people can understand it. If I started talking about indexability, cache dates, # of links, relevancy etc. I wouldn’t hit my target audience for this post." So I take it as the target audience of this post is SEO newbies. Then there's MORE reason to let them stay away from DP where 99% is junk and/or scam. Rather, point them to an editorially cleaned up list of directories, such as vilesilencer's list. Anyway, no hard feeling on your posts.
