Directory Submission Still Effective?

Hi,

I am going to build some links for my websites. Is directory submission still effective for SERPs and google pr? ( i read some news that it isnt effective anyway few months back).

Any experts here care to share their experiences and advices? Thanks in advance!

 

yes directory submission still effective for SERPs & increase to ranking & PR, if you would use quality back link then great effect for search engine.

 

it's usefull, but actually it not so important .

 

Well it does help somewhat so worth a shot

 

but you must account for submit link, coz if over your url is lost

 

No directories are not great for seo value.

Get someone to submit your site manually to about 1000 of them for $40 and even then it's not money well spent

 

yaa directory submission is effective if you submit site in your niche!!!

 

i think its still effective.

 

10 blog posts will be better than 1000 directory submissions

 

yes directory sub is best rules for ranking ur website

 

yes.. my self it will helps to get SERP for my site.

 

If you can get links from good directories then every link is worthy. Try to do submission to free directories as its free and also look for good quality paid directories which get a decent traffic and have a decent PR.

 

Yes in a way they are. Only try to submit to High Quality and reputable web directories Like Dmoz etc. By submitting to High PR Web Directories you can do better in SERPS.

Good Luck with your Link Building

 

I think the problem these days is the damn no follow tag.
If you're looking for a higher PR, then yes, but be sure the directory hasn't "no follow" tags.

 

Yes Directory submission is still effective for SERPs and google pr. I think You should do submission and see the effect.

 

Yes, It helps . you have to do this

 

Yes. still effective. But you need to select quality and high PR sites to promote your links.

 

its effective, but not that much.
Anyway you get a free Backlink to your site

 

Directories are a great way to manipulate your inbound link text - use them to build brand based links into your site. Stay away from keyword anchortext. e.g. Use anchor text like:

www.mywebsite.com
http://www.mywebsite.com
mywebsite.com
my website

 

It is still effective if you get listed in Hi PR page. If you get listed low PR page: Forget it! (due to most directory only get high PR in it's homepage)
I prefer more blog post than submit to directory. It will give you more than get listed in low PR page.
