One year many years ago, I went to Vancouver for a two month holiday.
I met this honest, smart, and fun young gentleman named Anthony Taylor.

I highly recommend him for work related projects, especially if you are in the Vancouver Canada area.

I suggest July or August as the best time of year to visit Vancouver as they have three seasons up there, July, August and Rain.

List of Directory Submission Sites That Google Likes

List of Directory Submission Sites.
List of directories that Google likes and that follow Google Guidelines.

Over the last few years Google has cracked down on web directories that violate Google guidelines.  You should not place your website on any free and low quality directories, you need fewer directory listings with better quality in order to be successful with Google and Bing.

So I decided I should give people a list of Internet directories that Google thinks are valid and that if you obtained a listing from these directories it would help you with direct traffic generation and also as a "good" backlink as far as Google is concerned.

Comments from Matt Cutts of Google on what to consider when submitting to a Directory.
When considering submitting to a directory, I'd ask questions like:
- Does the directory reject urls?
If every url passes a review, the directory gets closer to just a list of links or a free-for-all link site.
- What is the quality of urls in the directory?
Suppose a site rejects 25% of submissions, but the urls that are accepted/listed are still quite low-quality or spammy. That doesn't speak well to the quality of the directory.
- If there is a fee, what's the purpose of the fee?
For a high-quality directory, the fee is primarily for the time/effort for someone to do a genuine evaluation of a url.
Matt Cutts, Google

Unfortunately there are many other articles regarding Directories that are highly ranked by Google that give bad SEO advice which may cause you to be penalized by Google. 
I even emailed HubSpot that one or more of their blog articles give terrible SEO advice about Directory submissions.

You do not want to automate Directory submissions.  Each listing should vary the anchor text and the content (description).  This will yield the best results with the search engines, and prevent penalties.  More importantly it makes for a unique better quality directory that visitors will like. Google does not want to see hundreds or thousands of free low quality directory listings all with the exact same anchor text and the same description word for word.  That is what Google penalizes and it is good Google penalizes these spammy black-hat methods.
