    Directories can be very valuable, so long as you make your submissions good and you choose good directories (by that I mean high PR etc).

    Be wary of directory submission software which submits your site to hundreds of directories at once; it is better to select fewer good directories and personalise your submission on each. Do a few a day and your inbound links look more natural.

    Good luck! :)

    You are confusing two different areas of site promotion
    SEO - Search engine Optimization and
    SEM - Search engine Marketing

    SEO used for building your SERP and SEM used to building backlinks.
    When you're asking wrong questions then people like @apofis2009 who know even less than you do
    will give you wrong answers thus confusing you even more

    :eek:

    I can say that submissions to almost any kind of directories (High or low PR) will one day be a plus for you, not only to High ones. Cause no website was born having a HIGH pagerank, but they collected their rankings during the time.

    If you submit your site to a directory it keeps your link as long as the directory exists which is very useful in getting traffic...which is the best thing

    Finding those quality directories can be difficult but if you have a niche keyword phrase then it is sometimes easier to find a niche directory.
