Or for favorable linkage...

I like the idea of a topical directory on a site. It's not difficult to get far more depth than Yahoo & Dmoz, particularly if you stick to a narrow field of interest and do your own spidering. It's a great way to add useful content, get inbound links from some sites, and establish a dialog with other sites in your area of interest. Be wary of your tools, of course - Zeus software made some parts of creating a link directory a lot more efficient, but proved to be risky in terms of Google penalties.
