    It can be useful, just don't use auto submission software. Include your keywords in the title of the listing

    Manual directory submission is more beneficial for you because software unable to choose relevant category for your site, so please avoid directory submission from software. You have to choose always high Page Rank directory for your site.

    I too submitted to many directories. But actually most of them are really useless.
    The final result is a huge amount junk mails at your inbox.

    Including keyword in your title is a nice way indeed, but doing paid submission will affect more on the visits as free submission will take a long time to become live.

    Categories for the directory submission should be smartly selected. Directory submission should carried out properly with patience because once the keywords gets optimized, there is always a chance to get good traffic.

    Not necessarily. It's helpful in getting you a backlink, but it's not an automatic gateway to massive traffic. Directories often require approval which can take months. They are powerful and have a lot of page rank that can give strong link juice.

    But if you want quick backlinking, then I wouldn't make directories my first choice. It would be last on my list.

    Thats a lie. If you ping the links after submitting them they work as one way backlinks... which we all known are amazing.
