Another item you may want to consider is whether or not the directory is human edited or automated. I've noticed that the automated ones (which also generally have fewer guidelines) are devalued more often by the search engines. Great things to look at.

We know they may not be there is a few months, but for now it is a pretty good assumption that Google is "okay" with a directory if it is in their backlinks.

I don’t care if there’s adsense on the same page as my submission, I just don’t want there to be more ads than submissions.

You’re right, my primary purpose for submitting to those directories is for their link juice but – there won’t be any link juice if the owners rely on adsense as their revenue source.

Directories need link love like the rest of us which means they have to be promoted and worked. Relying on adsense makes them lazy IMO.

You know just as well that the expected traffic from 99% of the directories (even the paid ones you advertise from) are minimal. Hi Debra,

Question about #3 in your list

If the point is strictly link building (and I might be missing your point on that end) and if the page is cached, clean of nofollows etc, why do you care if you are competing with adsense. You know just as well that the expected traffic from 99% of the directories (even the paid ones you advertise from) are minimal.
