Not if those links are completely useless (ie. no value at all) now, at least to Google. Matt Cutt from Google has stated it openly that links from 2nd tier directories are hugely devalued or completely ignored by Google now. That is validated by many of our sites too. We submitted to hundreds of directories, many with page rank as high as PR 4/5. Completely no effect on the rankings after more than 2 months. But when we add links from other sources, they started to improve. I have to conclude that it is a waste of time to do directories submission now. We stopped doing it and yet our new sites are doing well on Google.
