High authority web directories still help sites rank higher on search engines. Web directories provide one-way links which are beneficial for increase search engine rankings as well as direct traffic. There seems to be a lot of panic out there about sites losing their rankings on Google, especially with their new Penguin update, because they have been listed on directories. I don't think the fear is well substantiated. First, it is important to differentiate between a legitimate directory that aims to provide something of value to the user and bad neighborhood sites that are set up as link farms. The latter are definitely not what you like to link to your site. That said, search engines should wise enough to exercise great care in penalizing sites for links in the bad neighborhoods as it could open the door to negative SEO attacks. As for web directories that appear legitimate I would not hesitate to submit my site to them.
The quality level of the web directories is always open to argument or debate. The content must be only of high-quality, the various types of listings must be in clear and comprehensible terms. Another benefit of getting your link included in web directories is that your link is indexed by the search engines quickly. The search engine crawlers crawl the Internet to obtain information on the recently updated or created links, and they start the crawling with the web directories and first crawl all those links present in the directory.
