Now this is issue is clarified. Thanks to this video.

Allowing a few directories to pass link juice is important. Unfortunately all of the old directories such as Yahoo, botw and joeant have so many links now that some of the pages aren't getting indexed, and might not even be crawled. So when a lot of newer sites get listed they never get found. Hopefully Google understands this and allows some newer high-quality directories to pass link juice too. Those old directories are still good, just be sure the page you submit to is getting indexed, first

To do with the getting people to know your site, what are the best places on the net to promote and market a website? Does Google appreciate linking on social network sites?

There is no harm is submitting to any no. of directories but also there is no use.
Stop wasting time on submitting your site to any directory you come across.

At the same time, there isn't much harm submitting to free direcotries, especially when you can get free services like Directory Maximizer to submit for you at a nominal cost. There are a few directories on their list that are very selective about the sites they list (so they could be good links). Yes, there are other directories as well that accept just about anything, but is there any harm? I've seen sites that rank just by having links from directories, how does that work?

There are definitely websites of low quality in yahoo directory but you guys still support it as its from one of the biggest brands. That's it.
