Is it useful for ranking to submit to a mass of directories?

    i have a list of directory websites, there's 2000+ websites in the list.

    i use roboform to submit my sites to directories one by one, it's so waste of time.

    does the work deserve to do or not?

    Submit only to quality established directories. There's no point in submitting to directories which are not even indexed properly by search engines. When it comes to links, it's about quality and not quantity.

    Most of the free directories are wack. If the page you'll be on is indexed in Google, submit. If not, skip.

    Agree with mixke, its quality not quantity that will help your SE rankings most.

    2000+ directories is too much try submitting to 500 or 700 directories

    Also out of that 2000 most of the directory owners do n' concentrate that much of free submissions..

    There only few good directories out there, make sure you only submit to the good ones only, if you dont want to waste your time. Good luck

    It's quite helpful, however directory owners will take time to approve your post and those links might not be that powerful... but it's a good start for your site and will last for long ;)

    My point of view is

    When u submit to 2000+ directories, then u can expect 300+ directories to approve your links

    So, If I were u, I will do a slow submission to those 2000+ directories and wait for the results

    Directories can be a waste of time, if you only have time to blog comment or use directories i would go for blog commenting every time.

    i think if u submit at a time in 2000 + directories it could be like spam so its useless its my opinion

    For me, it is not a waste of time! Directories are very helpful in building one way links for your site. It is also a good strategy for new establishes sites. :D

    Submitting your site to a lot of directories used to work at some point but now backlinks from only quality directories will be beneficial.

    you can submit. But make sure that all those directories should hosted on different IPs & servers. If a set of directories created under same ip or server then probably google will find it and penalize those directories. so it's waste of time that submitting to these kind of directories

    I think High page rank directory in submission for our site is most effective.
