Quality of Directory Submissions

In the spirit of maintaining a high level of quality to directories, I want to start this topic to help promote the idea that some actual thought is going into the links being accepted into directories. As we know, there have been some directories that have been penalized, and there is reason to believe that lack of quality could be behind some of this.

I'm curious what criteria you are using to decide if you want to accept a link into your directory. In the list that follows, you can't judge by just one thing. You have to look at everything as a whole. Here are some of the things I consider:

Good things:
1) Lots of good content with many pages of original text throughout the site
2) An active community with contributions from many people
3) Unique products for sale
4) Professional design
5) The provided a reciprocal link or paid for a reciprocal link
6) Provided a good title and description. The title provided was the actual title of the site.
7) It is the homepage of the site
8) In general, it is apparent that someone really cares about the site and put a lot of time and effort into it.

Not so good things:
1) Advertising is prominently displayed ahead of content
2) The content appears to be in the form of search results or scraped from some other source.
3) The title provided was a spammy keyword rather than the official name of the site.
4) The submitted page seems to be a less important interior page of the site.
5) Site is about a topic that is known for spam such as pharmaceuticals, gambling and sexual enhancement.
6) Site convers a very controversial topic that might not be appropriate for some viewers
7) The title and description were not carefully written, and it is apparent little thought went into the submission itself.
8) They obviously did not search for the best category to submit the link.

I'm sure there are more and would look forward to hearing your views.
