Directories are different than search engines. People often confuse directories and search engines, thinking that they are the same. This is not true.
Search engines use spiders or robots to index web sites, while directories use people.
Directories have a smaller, but cleaner index. Directory editors don't look at the HTML or link popularity of your site.

Directory submissions require an appropriate category and a description of your site, which software can't write.
