You can take a look at these listings with their statistics on the thread. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=2494724&postcount=29
It's just a shame that some web directories are a big scam. After you fill out a very long submission form, give away your e-mail address plus personal information and after you add their links to your own site, a month after, your links still don't appear in their directories!
If its Free its in the directory owners prerogative whether to include your site or not whether your site would add value to its directory or not. If you have a quality site with good contents then the judgement of each owner would now depend on how you submitted your site. If you submitted it just like you don't even care for its Title and Description and not even in the right category most owners delete that. Ask Malcolm and other owners of what they think. Now if you paid for your link then owners will take time to review your site and arrange and even place it in the proper category. Don't take it personally and move on. Even in Free directories they even reject a listing without notice. It's FREE but editors or owners don't like to be worked as submitters personal Au Pair. Best
