Your techniques are great. Link wheel building is also a great especially in generating quality backlinks. In this case, you will use web 2.0 properties as your spokes. Then create unique contents for them leaving one link going to your site then one link connected to the next spoke. To have a visual guide, you may see this link: http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/249/linkwheelsmall.jpg
Great, I believe directory links are not so powerful links, only niche directories are considered more relevant as these directories list only sites which are related to a specific category and are hence, considered relevant to the theme. Thus, having links from Niche directories gives more value to the SEO campaign of your site!
IMHO link building has become obsolete. Even some SEOs do put a lot of emphasis, my experience says the link building is like filling a lake with buckets full of water.
