    I dont relay on directories for traffic.
    A few good ones do send me some decent visitors but the main reason is to keep search engine rankings going up.
    So i'll pay for good page rank, and hope for more traffic as a bonus.

    The days when directories were sending traffic are long gone. I don't even get traffic from DMOZ any more. I only check PR and number of outgoing links when submitting to directory. And price, of course.

    paid directories help you get better ranking in Search Engines because they are ranked higher than other directories :)

    Does it matter to submit to niche directory or general one?

    Can u prove this?

    DMOZ is free but it still ranks higher than some paid ones.

    IMO statment should be "Quality directories help you get better ranking in Search Engines because they are ranked higher than other (or lower quality) directories."

    It all depends on the keyword. Mine rank higher than Dmoz often - with the keyword of theirs. Such an irony.

    If you have a free directory you will get tons of traffic from directories because they wind up being used as submission lists.

    For other sites the directory would have to be VERY NICHE.

    It really depends on the category, some categories are ranked well for the keywords of the sites listed. Other categories don´t show up in the search engines. It would be interesting to see how many people actually use dmoz and of course directory.google.com to actually search for stuff from their homepage.

    i dont think that the directories will bring you so many traffic. in my opinion , most of the users are using major search engines. i'm using directories for only backlinks

    While we primarily submit to directories for reasons already mentioned, there are a handful of directories that send us a small stream of targeted traffic. ;)

    What matters is quality of links added...and here the paid ones excel over free ones.
