Always use custom descriptions when submitting to directories. For a long time I re-used descriptions that I wrote and realized over time that eventually those listings became worthless.

It's not enough to rotate between 3-4 descriptions...you can re-use the same general idea, but always write it in your own words when you're filling out the submission form.

Use a short title description, about 2-3 words (2 is better, but 3 if you need it to demonstrate the title of the site). Do NOT use more than 4 words in a title. It will simply be seen as spam.

Always spell check your submission. Don't write it in English if English is not your first language.

One of the problems I have with reciprocal link directories are the fact that your site may not necessarily be a good match to link directly to a link directory that requires a backlink for submission.

Here's a directory tracking site that tracks performance in search engines over time for quite a few link directories.

You can use the link to the listing for submissions that require reciprocal links during submission.

Here's an example:
List of reciprocal link directories.

Click on a listing from the filtered results, you can use this URL on DoD.i as the reciprocal link when submitting to a directory that they track (eg. http://directoryofdirectories.info/directories/2215)
