    There are no guarantees unfortunately.. I would say there are a significant amount of links that are not even noticed by the search engine bots..

    free submissions usually have no guarantees ....... !
    Most of the High PR sites make cash from the backlinks.
    But some help u to build backlinks.

    It can help but there's no garantee. Link exchange with related sites is also an effective way to improved site SERP.

    view the page source, search for rel="nofollow" in the <a href> code for links.

    I think that every link helps except no follows which are such a pain. I try not to link to sites that have no follows as it defeats the purpose of the link. i have even had a paid directory put a no follow link on my site once.

    every link will help you to get better serp result but you must take care on two thinks

    * nofollow: if there is nofollow, it will not help you
    * some of the directory are full of spam. do not use these directories to submit
