    Yes it helps with rankings but it could also hurt your rankings if you submit too much at once. You can do a search for "top directories" and submit your site to them manually just stay away from all those so called automated softwares because they can get you banned from Google.

    It might have benefited you 5 years ago, but this is 2012 people. Forget directory submissions and email some similar sites to yours and see if there is a way you can mutually promote each others content. Blog roundups, Twitter shares etc.

    I can't even remember the last time I did a directory submission.

    The biggest difference is the fact that you have to pay for one and not the other, honestly. Unfortunately, at least when you're talking about low-cost paid directory submissions, there are a lot of junk paid directories out there -- not as many as junk 'free' directories, but there's enough to make it a real gamble. I used to run a directory submission service & submitted manually to directories -- so many directories that charged $2-$10 for expedited review times or priority placement were no better than the free directories in terms of what they could offer (at least based on the elements I could see -- page rank, internal linking structure / pagination, alexa ranking, inbound links, etc).

    Some free directories are great, and they can help with your SEO / link-building efforts in a positive way. Though, I wouldn't count on a free directory being able to deliver much in the way of human visitors directly from the directories themselves. If you're looking for the best possible results -- a good backlink for SEO purposes and placement within a directory that can actually offer real visitors, you'll probably have to spend a bit of money ($20-$100+, either one-time or on a subscription payment) to get those types of results.

    Directory submission works fine for the below mentioned scenarios:

    1) if it is new website and want to have quick backlinks many go directory submissions, which is the best source to do it.
    2) Incase if you are looking for gaining high page rank, you can definitely rely on high page rank directories.

    please ensure that based on new panda and penguin update, choose only the top quality directories for submission
