These days I come across many forums where people talk about the value of directory listings from the search engine point of view - is it really helpful ?
Quality of link will depend on the scrutiny they do before adding your site. Lets take two examples,
1) Where scrutiny is 0 - You add the link and it is reflected in the category. Those are called link farms and have negative values if not only zero.
2) Where scrutiny is the highest - As of now it is DMOZ and one link from such a directory gives you a lot of value. My recent experiments shows me that Yahoo gives a lot of value to DMOZ listing.
In simpler words, value of a directory depends on following factor,
The scrutiny it does as search engine wants to add human factor into the ranking.
How much search engine team knows about the directory. There is a team which checks about the directory and its working. A new directory does not get that much value initially but if the process is good it will pay good dividend.
As I said SEO is not about today but about what next, so watch out for Hedir value as a directory . Since Hedir is a community check it might fetch a good value only search engines needs to know about it. Also the Hedir is open so hopefully all the search engines can use it in their algo.
I need to go somewhere and I will take the other question after some time.

Also some of my friends suggest its better not to submit your sites to the directories with the words free, seo friendly, etc. in their domains and also meta keywords like reciprocal, seo friendly, link exchange, etc.
Could you please let me know whether these are only myths or there is any truth behind these.
What is your site all about? I mean the site which you are about to submit to a directory.
SEO is bad if done for SE ranking alone else SEs loves it.
Link exchange is bad if done for SE ranking alone else SEs appreciate it as they want to count it as vote.
What is your site all about? I mean the site which you are about to submit to a directory.
We have a financial site and right now we are keping away from link exchange. We feel that nowadays webmasters are more concerned about SE rankings than providing quality info. to the visitors and we are not going to join that lot.
Anyways, thank you AjiNIMC for your elaborative answers and am looking forward to learning a lot from you via HeCom (Hedir Community) in the days to come.

Keep away from link exchange not links. Links are inevitable. Financial sites are with heavy competition. I happen to involve with few.

Thanks for providing in-depth knowledge. Just to clarify few points:
We have started submitting our sites in different directories very recently. Initially there was no such strategy we used to follow. Few of the sites are having PR value 5, few of them 4 and few of them are having 3. Internal page where our link has placed may be having PR value 1 or 2. As you said Google still follow (n-1) strategy, so is it the reason that we have come down to 5.

We don't do link exchange. But as I said earlier that we do submit articles in different article directories as well as we submit in directories. Now we have decided to go for press release. How many submission we are suppose to do per month? Is their any specific criterion?
I now understand PageRank almost completely and i was the one who was concerning about pagerank of my site more than quality. I will remove reciprocal links from sites that have pagerank 0-1. Thank you ! _________________ My site also wants some reviews http://www.hedir.com/groupthink/about15925.html#41703

When I said (n-1) it is the gain not the loss. What was the PR earlier? I have lost track with this keyphrase "Page Rank" and the abbreviation "PR". PR does no good, so do not worry about it.

This is tough question to answer. Too many links from domain does not help and thus so many article submission to same sites will not help. Develop viral stuff and then do press release, you can see links giving birth to links. Press release do bring some traffic to your site. I liked prleap as it is a doorway for google news. Do not forget to optimize your Press release, the typical onpage factors. Google news do not check backlinks, it works on onpage factor, so does many press release sites.
