Twan directories via submitter, use smart linking, you link some directories, and some other directories link to you, win win situation!

Generally, I only set up reciprocal links with directories having significantly better alexa ratings than the site I want listed. If its no recip I always submit, can't see a reason not to.

On feeder blogs it just don't matter...and that was the question here, right.
On a serious, handwritten blog you shouldn't use directories at all.

As far as I am aware you can't get penalised for incoming links. So I think its a mistake to dump "directories" into one basket. Google is constantly changing the way they do things and its the spam they are after. This is a question of keeping your nose clean and of trying to steer clear of dodgy sites.

Are there any reputable lists of free directories? Are here any reputable lists of directories which charge to review?
