Its a good list. But these directories do not have much traffic so it will not be a good idea to think that through these you will get quite a lot of traffic.

I would have to agree you want to target directories with quite a bit more traffic to really see the impact

... but they may get more traffic in the future or not?! I sometimes prefer submitting to new directories, since they may grow in PR Rank in the future.

I doubt that most free directories ever get any traffic ... but it can still be useful to submit to them for linkbuilding.

It's not the traffic they are getting directly - someone finds it looks at it etc.
I was thinking of the traffic they get from spiders, which subsequently find the links to ones web site then. Then of course there is the PR value of the directory itself that might enhance ones own site.

Just a hint for placing links - I heard the (anchor) text has become more important as well. Google lists/counts only "unique" types of backlinks. Is that true?!

Yes words written in anchor text are treated to be words that describe the content of a site by SEs. Therefore that site would come up more easily with keywords built up from those anchor texts

They also seem to prefer variance in the anchor texts and I also read that they detect variance in the contents of a page. They seem to do this because they would like to count only unique backlings (and not massproduced ones)...

If you have the same anchor text over and over again it might look like paid links or spam. Its also good to rank for different keywords and not only one.

That's what I would expect as well. Lot's of monotonous links are suspicious and I observed that they never get listed at google as well. All backlinks at google seem to be of a more or less unique natuer.
