I'd withdraw gracefully from the link farm, and build links that are
appropriate and helpful to your site. Start with Quality blog
directories.

Directories are no longer the way to go except for the real quality
ones. Directories are bad cause it intermixes everything known to man
and well pretty darn close to a link farm IMO. Plain and simple Google
also knows that people submit their sites to directories just for the
link. The best way to link is related sites not on a link page as it
is harder to get these type links and Google knows this.

Directories are a pain in the arse. It takes time to locate good ones,
more time to enter each site / page you want listed and then most of them
that I've seen either want a reciprocal link (which I refuse to do most
of the time) or they want to be paid (which I don't do either)

Directories can be a pain in the arse, and any directory that asks for a
reciprocal (even in jest!), is NOT a quality directory.

It is worth tracking down 10-15 quality directories, however, as there is no
better way to give a kickstart to a new site.

With blogs, of course, there are even fewer good directories (if any?), but
they are a very different ball game to a 'traditional' site in terms of link
needs (and Google recognition).

First things first - but not necessarily in that order.
