It helps, but don't put your site into any spammy type directories, search engines frown on that.

You'd hate to see an angry Google

yes! we always have to check before submitting our site in any directory that it should be a dead source or spammy i.e. link farms

All mentioned tactics are basic thing in website promotion and definitely taken in consideration while promoting any website. Nice tips.
