It looks like Google has went through and updated their Webmaster Guidelines and omitted a few key elements. One of which at one point encouraged the submission of your site to relevant directories, that line has now been removed.
Unlike other Search Engines Google has always been down on paid link placements and other unnatural link building techniques. This type of behavior circumvents their own efforts to remove sites that attempt to game the system. Apparently they now feel that directories are a direct threat to their algorithm.
Submit your site to relevant directories such as the Open Directory Project and Yahoo!, as well as to other industry-specific expert sites.
