Help. I have some people here who want to post our site in any free directory listing they find and think worthwhile. I am saying no for a number of reasons: no strategy, no investigation, no monitoring, and I believe the willy nilly approach does more harm than good. We are an educational institution--any opinions--am I just being too careful?

If they think the links are worthwhile, then where's the problem?

It depends on the directories, because not always is the best way. Try to investigate about it, and if they are safe, just go on.

Sometimes free directories are good for backlinks, and it helps your site. But it depends on it.

Yes directories do help if you submit to the right ones. Be carefull because some directories will spam your website and may cause a bigger problem. Links are good but they need to be relevent to what your website is about not just any topic or keyword. They ones I found are good is Dmoz,searchsight,exactseek, somuch.com and jayde and many others just to name a few.

unsafe directories means the directory may spam your website url and ban you.
