    You should really use post spinner before your post to make it unique.

    Thanks for given the answer all of you..

    I think directory submissions basically increase the ranking a site on search engine not increasing more traffic.

    Thanks

    Directory Submissions is very good for traffic and SERP but do it correctly means Submit in High PR and quality links..but check one thing that they are having same IP or not, don' submit in same IP.. Do quality links

    I think it depends on the amount of directories you submitted. The more you submit, the more linking juice it adds to your sites.

    I don't think that directory submissions have any importance...
    Check out the Google guidelines...

    i doubt the benefit of the directory.

    How often do someone search for something using google directory vs google.com?

    As for me, i don't use google directory, neither do most non-webmaster netters. Most often, day by day search will give you the same old results as new sites will only appear 6 months later...?

    Forget it! We can reach pr 6 or 7, even if we are not listed in dmoz. On the other hand, forget your dmoz if you don't you do proper SEO! You'll still end up with only pr0 or 1.

    I just submitted my site to DMOZ few years back and have PR3.. apart from that i havent submitted to a single directly.. I guess it not worth it.. better spend your time getting good back link instead of submitting to random directories

    Why is that?
    I'm currently considering buying service of submiting blogs to directories and bookmarking sites. Thought it will help build up dofollow backlinks, which help improve SERP.
    Looking forwards to reply soon.

    People that think PR building is SEO crack me up. They have very little do to with one another.

    SEO to me stands for Search Engine Optimisation, not PR Engine Optimisation. PR has very little to do with your position in Google, or any other search engine for that matter ;) As I've mentioned elsewhere, [along with anyone else who knows what they're talking about] PR is only one of over 200 measures when ranking your website.

    You remind me of what some people say about "education". That education does not guarantee your success? Well, look out at the surroundings! Most people with higher education have better income than those with lower education. If you have a degree, you will work as an accountant, as a doctor, as a lawyer, etc. What if you are a high school dropout? Of course, in all situation there are exceptions to "few" people like bill gates, or some friends of yours.

    Same thing happens in seo. Do a search in any keyword, you will higher PR pages will have better positions than those with lower PRs. Similar to bill gates, of course there are also some exceptions where you will find "few" low PR sites appear above the higher PRs. I think it's normal.

    When we talk about the rule of average, we have to agree that higher education means better income, and higher PR means better search position.

    No it doesn't, ive seen so much from people that i know and relatives and it's not the case.

    Jobs are not waiting there to be filled once people finish Uni.

    Often peoples success can be because of who they know, not what they know.

    Connections, a mutual understanding and more can mean the difference between someone or something succeeding or not.

    Maybe what you meant is if everything else is equal, then PR will decide your SERP? because for sure, PR doesn't determine your SERP otherwise the search result will just be PR in ascending order.

    PR shows how trusted you page is compare to the rest of the internet.
    SERP is about how relevant your site is to the query being entered.

    i am talking about better position in general. This is how u should compare. Do a search in any keyword. Sum up the PRs in result page 1. Do the same to next 20 result pages. You will the downgrading trend of pr vs result page. One great tool you use to help you is seoquake addons for firefox.
    When i say about downtrending, it may be a wavy one. But overall, it's downtrend.

    The part where sites are shown because of the keyword, that SEO. Now, if 2000 sites are optimized for the same keyword, the on and off page optimization for the search engine wil decide the results page, hence SERP.

    I cant be any clearer than that
