Reasons Why I Like Second Tier Directories (Great Value)
Since second tier directories are smaller, your link is usually closer to the root page, and most pages have fewer outbound links than large directories. If the categories in a large directory are full of hundreds of sites, or are many levels deep into the directory structure, you may gain greater link popularity in a smaller directory than in a larger one.
Keep in mind that the quality of the other sites listed in the directory matters too. If they list many junk sites, then few quality resources are going to link to their site.
It is probably not a good idea to list your site in hundreds of directories if you have not built up significant trust. Also remember that some links may count as a negative, so try to be somewhat conservative with what you consider to be of good quality if you are hoping to rank well in Google.
