Also be aware that Linkscape does not crawl the entire web, but about 25% of it, focusing on the highest quality sites. This is why Anthony was asking about the type of links and the type of pages they are on.

DMoz is definitely still valuable (although you can wait forever to get your submission approved), as are a number of other high powered directories.  This is just a starting point for your link building, however.  The best links come from relevant websites.  Try combing through your competitors' backlinks (or better yet, use SEOmoz's competitive research tool) - it's typically a great way to get an idea of what link tactics work in your industry, and it can really help inspire you to step your game up.

What type of links were you building - directory submissions?  If you're building links that are deep into a directory with thousands and thousands of pages, it can take a long time for Google/SEOmoz to crawl the page, if ever.

Try higher quality link building with websites in your niche - you'll find that these are picked up much faster and way more powerful than lower quality links.  Build a great piece of content and market it to niche bloggers and site owners via e-mails and social media.  Network with bloggers in your industry and set up a guest post on their website.  Find an industry event and sponsor it publicly.

It's better to create one GREAT link every day than to build 100 mediocre links every day.
