This post is pretty much on the money. Directory links don't really have much SEO 'authority' value anyway, they only really help with geo-relevance. The fact of the matter is, barely anyone uses web-directories any more. Since search, they have become outmoded

As such, 9 times out of 10, no traffic flows through these links. Due to that, Google doesn't weight them very strongly. They can help to confirm the geographic position of your business and stuff like that, but only a select number of directories and directory-aggregators (like Central Index) are effective for that kind of thing

Like Thomas says, don't buy spammy directory links it's not safe. Well... I guess I'd say, you can buy paid links under certain circumstances - but if they're created for advertising purposes, they must be no-followed (so that they don't manipulate SEO rankings). Due to this, you would never create paid links 'just for SEO'. You'd be creating the paid links as part of a 'referral' traffic campaign, when you were certain that the link was priced right and you'd see decent traffic through it. But you'd nullify the SEO impact, to prevent any potential issues with Google

Google only want 'editorial' (not paid for, without bias) hyperlinks, created by editors or webmasters - to alter their ranking positions. If you pay an editor to review content which you might place on their site (but don't pay for the link itself), that's a gray area where you might be alright (as long as you content wasn't spammy). That being said, if you'rte paying for an editorial review process, you could pay and have your content declined (so there's more risk there also)

I second tom's opinion that 'guest posting' in its TRUE form is not dead. The problem with Google's language there is that, they confused 'sponsored' (paid) posting with guest authorship. Too many people did sponsored posts and claimed (falsely, against advertising laws) that they were editorial pieces. Advertorials and sponsored posts are dead. Guest posting, in its real (editorial) format is still very much alive and can work wonders

Don't "Buy Links" links from directories it is not safe!

Think like this should I would I pay to be on pay for Chamber of Commerce just for a Link?  I would NOT

You can pay to join relevant sites **BUT NOT TOO BUY LINKS **

Content done better than great with outreach & PR will do the best

Guest Posting to relevant sites with great content is not dead but it has to add value.
