I thought these had disappeared ten years ago...

I used a directory submission tool to submit to loads (500 ish) of directories using optimized anchor text

The common wisdom used to be that if you were lucky, these would simply create a lot of email spam for you. Why are people suddenly surprised that hundreds of such submissions would create problems?
