    You need to build dofollow backlinks on high PR pages (preferably within your niche) for your site to begin to rank. You should use your targeted keywords as anchor text, as well as variations of those keywords/synonyms, etc.. to prevent anchor text over-optimization. If the directories that your backlinks were place on are nofollow, then that would explain why you saw no change in rankings.

    Anyone care to shed light on google Devaluing links and becoming more focused on "BUZZ"
    Being listed in every social network besides FB because it's spiders can't crawl it.
    Don't get me wrong I still comment, get do follow and Nofollow links.
    But I'm hearing come August Google is going to be looking at how much branding your site or blog will do.

    If you've got a lot of links from free directories that don't manually verify submissions your site is at risk of a penalty come the next penguin update, any link that can be built using automated software is a high risk link....

    In regards to anchor texts, just don't spam your keywords.

    But, if you see your traffic and rank start to plummet soon, you can almost rest assured it's because of the directories + article directories. Get ready to either build better links and/or disavow those directory links.
