You're exactly right!
So called SEO services and a some website owners will purchase links on the Directories just to get a link or in hopes of increasing their chances of being picked up by the major SE's (Google/Yahoo etc.) That's IT!
Used to be that directories were needed and did help the SE's pickup a new site. Not anymore. The SE's find sites very quickly these days and absolutely DO NOT need a directory to point them to it..
Directories are dead, have been dieing for years and will never lead to anything other than Directory owners swapping $$ and Directory script creators profiting from milking the fools whom pay for their useless scripts! Period!
Having said that, some of the scripts are practical for niche types of sites that are more than a link dump. That is few and far between though...both on the useful niche directories and the useful/scalable directory scripts.
