Link directories still works?

Seo changes alot. Would like to ask the experts if you still go link directories submission now? still effective? or just focus on blog commenting.

 

You should not only focus on one part of link building, and abandon the others, submission to directories plays an important rule in increasing one way back links as well as blog commenting, social bookmarking, forum posting, etc...

You need to benefit from all the sources that provide free one way back links.

 

Yes they works it helps in increasing the traffic to the site..

 

I'm using directory submission because this method increases the popularity of my website.

 

all link building ways are effective still like directory submission, Social Bookmarking, Commenting, Forums, Classifieds. all

 

All link building techniques has its own advantages. Do each methods regularly.

 

Hi,
We cant ignore them as they are important part in seo.

 

directory submission not important anymore.

 

what do you mean? can you please explain?

 

it works worse, than before

 

Yes, it still help if the directory is quality directory

 

There is a lot of directories and each directories have thousand of website. Is it still relevant? I don't know, but I try to submit my new website each time I have a chance. If it is free... How can we say a directory is quality directory? Can we trust paid directory? That's the question I have in mind when I work on my SEO.

 

Well i agree to your point that according to new changes blog commenting has been quite effective.But still link submissions hasn't drooped out the field.They may help you to get handful of backlinks.

 

I'd be careful about getting too many backlinks real quick with new sites. Better to do a mix of directories, article submissions, blog and forum posting - regularly.

 

So you mean to tell me that if I went out to a PR1 blog and left 10 comments, the link juice from those comments would be worth more than getting my link on a PR9 link directory? You sir, have no idea what you're talking about.

 

Yes, it still works, but don't limit yourself to directories. Variety of links is important, otherwise it doesn't look "natural". stevebloemer is correct, use a mix.

Fully agree.

 

Better submit to some of the more authoritive directories such as dmoz.org, Yahoo.com and Business.com. Submitting to all the others, unless they are topic relevant' niche or great local directories is a waste of time.

 

Yes ,I used a directories because by the directories we can improve sites in google page rank.

 

I don't think directory submission is useful any longer. Directory may be having good PR but it is irrelevant

Google has already developed advanced system whereby directories are ignored and most of directories are having DO NOT Follow attribute.

Even if one checks google webmasters, one won't find his Directory links there.

People are still carrying same impression that directory submission is important SEO step. However, now 90% of directories are MFA (Made For Adsense) sites only.

 

Do not focus on one thing, do all link building activities for increase backlinks directory submission, bookmarking, blog commenting, article submission, etc..
