Your method takes longer and that time is better spent on getting more quality links. Free directory submission are not a major part of seo like meta tags and keyword density. Just do it the quickest way possible and move on to something more important. Spending quality brain power and time on trying to pick the right free directories to submit to and studying their submission guidelines is a waste of time.

If you were making a car you would not spend all your time on picking out the right material to line your glove compartment. You would want to spend most your time on things that get the thing to move.

If somebody told me I could only choose between one DMOZ listing and having my site submitted to 500 directories I would pick the 500 submissions. The 500 submissions have more value. Most of you think a DMOZ listing is the answer to all your prayers. It is not. I am talking from experience. I have done the submit to a zillion directories and seen results.
