As you can see the Open Directory is a big player here:
Click for OPEN DIRECTORY
The Open Directory is a human edited directory,
meaning that all sites listed in the directory are reviewed by human editors.
Open Directory best resembles a vast reference library where information
is arranged hierarchically by subject from broad to specific detail.
Maintained by human volunteers who act as experts to evaluate
what sites are accepted and which are excluded.

Yahoo is also a directory Google is not:

Google spiders the web to maintain its index,
with emphasis on content and link popularity.
One factor that determines your rank on Google is the number of links
that point to your site, the quality (popularity) of the sites that link to your site,
the text in and around the links that point to your site, and who you link to.
Google's web crawler only views the visible text on your page.

SEARCH ENGINES AND DIRECTORIES are
the two most widely used tools for
searching the internet.
