Well, the traditional place to start such a thing is to build sites for DMOZ - which is a little more complex than it used to be because dmoz has quite a few categories which either don't get reviewed or are reviewed very slowly. So, you have to build test sites in different niches to see which categories are active, that is, have active editors who will list your sites.
If you happen to be building only in niches with slow or dead categories, you are pretty much outta luck.
Their is a more modern style of search engine freesite, of which the review site is probably the archetypal model - just lots of pages, with lots of text, and for which you try to trade links with other search engine builders.
I'm not sure there are any articles I'd suggest to learn how to build such things.
