Except a few ones, directories are no longer a good way to get some strong backlinks. People are going for it as it has become a SEO tradition for getting links. Most of the directory page are not even cached by search engines.
Most directories will give you a backlink. Many times you will be able to use a title with your keywords and your listings will be placed on a category page with other similar websites. Be aware that directories are not the 'strongest' links that you can get.
I strongly suggest using directories for keywords that are not that strong. My site has been up for 4 months and i am in the top 10 for most of my keywords
Web directory 10 years back was considered as a source to find valuable sites on niche topics. The popular one was Dmoz. Now the directory has changed its face. Many webmaster use to increase their links hence to increase their search engine rankings
there are a lot of directories out there you can submit to for free, but the average link value is rather low, so you'll need hundreds of them, that's why people usually order this from a service to do it for them; it's a whole lot of work if you're new to this, while it can be done for $100 or so for you
Directory submissions are the easiest and quickest way to get back links pointing to your site. And most directories are crawled by search engines on regular basis. So, in essence they help search engines to discover your site easily and they give you link juice.
