I came upon this list on SEO2020.com and thought I'd put it up since people are always looking for free website submission directories. You should not go crazy submitting your site to every directory as it is important to choose certain directories and be selective where you submit your site.
A great place to also get directories is through forums such as Digital Point or even ask people in the industry you know.

If you wanted top ranking position years ago, all it would take it shooting webmasters an email asking to exchange link and that was link building for you.
Granted, things have changed and the engines have come a very long way since then. Reciprocal linking is almost out of many SEOs strategies in their link building plan. I think reciprocal linking still holds value if you can exchange links with the right sites.
What do you do?
Let’s say you are in the employment services industry and want to start a reciprocal linking campaign. Any site that has to do with employment services or related to the employment services industry holds value (granted it has good pagerank and good rankings)
I would go to into Google and search for the keyword “employment services” and start drilling down the niche to resume services, etc. I would contact those webmasters and start exchanging links to top ranking sites.
What if they don’t respond to my email?
Many SEOs have killed the email way of exchanging links from spamming for so many years. Webmasters, I’d say 90% of them, ignore linking emails because they don’t want to waste their time or just plain ignore them.
WHOIS.org. Go and get the webmasters number or owners phone number. Call them and ask to speak to the webmaster about exchanging links and introduce yourself and a bit about your site and how the exchange of links can help both parties.

OK, most of you already have heard that commenting on blogs will get you a link and can be good for branding. YES. It’s true. ONLY if you actually add quality content and have some good input on the story.
Here is the deal, as you know, it is time consuming in our busy lives to read every story that pops up and start commenting on every blog. So, what do you do?
Comment on stories that have a lot of comments already! The people are already involved in the conversation and they are reading the comment above them.
Where do you find these stories? For example, if you’re a bit short on time, find 10 stories on the top of the sphinn home page and go from there. See what stories are really hot, where the buzz is, and get involved.
