What you actually get
A listing in a genuine web directory: 659,811 sites, 7,692 categories, 3.7 million submissions and 812 million searches, curated by 298,514 editors and 278,494 contributors. It is a citation in the pre-launch-board tradition, which means broad category coverage and a page that has existed for years rather than a launch-day moment.

Gotchas
Leaving the title and description blank hands the listing's copy to their auto-fetch, which takes whatever your meta tags say rather than what you would have written.
Approval is a human editor's decision on a directory with nearly 300,000 of them, so there is no turnaround to plan around and no status to check.
