    Hi,

    I am going to build some links for my websites. Is directory submission still effective for SERPs and google pr? ( i read some news that it isnt effective anyway few months back).

    Any experts here care to share their experiences and advices?

    Thanks

    It's always good to have incoming links to your website. In some way, it means traffic. :)

    I believe it is still important to submit to web directories, but you should be careful when choosing the right one.

    Just don't turn it into a link farm as this can be a HUGE turn off and possibly a ban by Google.
