Generally you can not use directory to drive traffics .... because mainly directories role is collect website links according to categories and earn some money by advertisement or by feature or paid links. According to me directory is a source to get many backlinks for low price or for free. Need to check directories links before submission because if directories are auto approving your submission means there will be lots of suspected links and avoid these types of directories for submission otherwise can penalized by search engines.
According to me, if you are looking for submission in a directory platform, then local directory submission will work for traffic and backlinks, and I would suggest focusing on local directories for web promotions.
you have to find them according to your niche and what value you bring to them. always look for what you can bring to people
Directories are not as useful as 10/20 years ago. That's why most of them are changing to another script.
That's correct. I don't think any SEO experts who have good SEO knowledge are working on these directories anymore.
I don’t agree with that. There are lots of native ads that can help with traffic for a site, blog, or whatever. I like MGID. Yes, it’s not free, but the results are worth it.
DMOZ is long gone, and Yahoo directories aren’t as effective anymore. Instead, focus on directories like Bing Places, Google Business Profile (for local SEO), Clutch (for businesses), and niche-specific directories relevant to your site’s industry. High-quality backlinks from authoritative sources and strong SEO will likely drive more traffic than general directories.
A good tip to increase traffic is to never get yourself banned from places because if you do.......shoot, too late!...Sorry about that.
