A directory listing eg:
DMOZ
Yahoo
<remove>Looksmart</remove>
<remove>NBCI</remove>
Will give you about 100 points for each listing.

Because we're talking about Google and I have never seen Google giving that weight to those directories. This is not to say those aren't teriffic links for other reasons.

Other directories that still rank with a hefty weight behind Yahoo and ODP are Webrawler, Excite, <missyou>Go</missyou>, and I see Study Web and similar directories behind that.
