    those will only be good for traffic when the directory is well known in the area. Not much benefit if you ask me.

    did you meant your site registration in india? or your communication address in india?? if u hosted in india with indian address, you can't get local business listing in us, if u dont have branch there. if you have branch, you can get it. Normally people will give their main branch in local business listing

    YES, local business listing is very helpful for more sales in your area. If you have online products selling site (for ex. digital prod. or jewelery) than local listing can help you for mroe targeted customers.

    Local business listing is very helpful especially when you are promoting your products and services to local audience...

    Your website is addressed with India and you want to promote your website to US audience....
    - For getting listed in local business you need a tangible address of target country only then you can rank high and get leads...
    - If you can mention physical address of US, you can easily target US audience
    - You need a separate domain for US audience.. even for local listings

    Submit your business listing to,
    Google- http://www.google.com/local/add/analyticsSplashPage?service=lbc
    Yahoo!- http://listings.local.yahoo.com/
    Bing- http://www.bing.com/businessportal/
