    Hi all,

    I think Directory Submissions is Wastage of Time and money because according to time and man hour not get result. Free directory submissions approval rate is 10-20% only.

    Give your views and suggestions

    I don't think so. If you follow strictly the instruction how to perform directory submission into the respective directory; the approval rate is above 50% for free. However, it also demands the quality website that is to be submitted.

    If you will submit in bulk then it is wastage of time. Make a schedule, target high pr directory website, submit in right category.

    Endlessly submitting to directories, yes a complete waste of time but as an overall strategy it is not. There are many niche specific directories and some that competitors have links from. If you aren't taking these easy link opportunities then you should be.

    I am no agree with you. If you choose a good list of directory like high pr and not done directory submission in bulk than it's not a time wasting. Directories backlink are good if its on high PR and related to your theme.

    The percentage of "good", high-quality directories is very, very small. To get links from them (for example, Yahoo!, Best of the Web, DMOZ, etc.) is worth submitting. The run-of-the-mill free directories that are out there by the hundreds of thousands? — A waste of time in almost every case.

    Yes, I also think this is wastage of time.. cause we have already many platforms which are better than directory submissions like blog commenting, forum posting, article submissions, social bookmarking etc..

    Submit your website in the authority SEO friendly directories so as to gain link popularity. Most of directories are do follow and mostly we get back link for it from google. When your site approve in a certain directory site. People searching a keyword that sometimes referring to your site. That was the time when you can gain traffic.

    Its not wastage of time. It is a necessity for every website. As it take most of our efforts, but efforts doesn't go waste if you read guidelines before submitting. Forum Posting & Article Postings are good options but options like blog commenting and social bookmarking sites provides no-follow links, so there we have to be choosy among these to get do-follow links.

    No. Directory submission is not wastage of time. Directory submission is very effective to get quality backlinks if it should do in quality way. Always choose Best category to list your site. Submit your site in Top PR directory site.
