    Now i have submit my site to lots directories, and i have a question,is it effect?You know some of them need you add his link in your site,and some of them need money, if i add it free,maybe i need wait for a long time and at last it could not add mine.
    And i 'm puzzled whether there have people log in the directory site to see it?
    So i think maybe it just wast time. Right?

    Directories are not an important part of website marketing, but if your running out of ways to get free one way links then they are worth looking into. Personally I never link back to a directory or pay for submission. They are worth it though to get a few free one way backlinks and if you submit to your niches directories then you will get related backlinks as well.

    it depends on the directory, not all directories give you the same link juice

    Well, In my opinion directories are getting ineffective at this SEO time. It became an obsolete technique for building links.

    I don't like mass directory submissions, aka directory spam. I prefer limited high PR/authority directories which are on theme.

    You'd better switch to the article submission. I believe that is what should make you happy

    There are many one-way link directories. Use that. You have nothing to lose (except your time)

    Keep switching titles and descriptions when making submissions and directories can still be useful for SEO. Niche directories can have abig impact on SERPs performance.

    Yes it is very much effective in building quality backlinks.Free directories takes some time to list yours in their sites.If your site is quality content and you have submitted in the relevant category means your site will be get listed faster.It is good and the effective one to build backlinks.

    As with everything you need to be selective. Do a little searching on the net and you will find some sites which list just PR4 or above directories. Those are worth submitting to for one way back links.

    I think Web Directory Submission method is becoming more less and less important as link building now a days. But still submission to some quality and high PR Web Directory won't hurt you but many give you some benefit.

    hi, directory submission is not bad way for website promotion because it's very obsolete techniques but effective techniques so my dear don't puzzled because if you submit of your website many directory then not give instant result then you will have to wait because when will not approve of your website then how will you give result so my dear keep some Passion because if you submit directory after that it's will give in future more and better result...it's my opinion..

    In my experience directory submission is good unless if you can get link from high pr directory with hundred of back links otherwise forget about directory submission, its wasting time your time.
