    Directories are not fake.depends upon their popularity. some popular directories won't accept all websites.

    As stated, just because you submitted your site doesn't mean it's auto accepted. Also some directory owners are pretty slow with accepting. If it's a one man show with potentially hundreds of submissions a day it's also possible they have just not gotten round to reviewing submissions.

    Directories are as real as they come. If you submit your site to a well known and high PR directory, you will definitely get backlinks to your site. Maybe you should be patient, as it might take little time before you see results.

    Even if your website is listed in on that directory Google will probably not show it as a backlink. Why? Google doesn't show much. But you might find it in google's webmaster tool. and yahoo explorer.

    Submitting to directories is a great way to build links and increase your search engine rankings. When choosing directories going for the paid ones can be better, mainly because the links seem to last a lot longer.Because directories are generally quite large, they need a certain amount of PageRank to get all of their pages indexed properly. Maybe your links are still not indexed?

    it takes awhile for your site to be accepted so it will take awhile for it to show as a backlink

    yea directories should work - liek the thread says - sometimes it takes a v long time to be accepted.

    They aren't the most powerful links in the world, but they do work and it is a natural place to find a link to a website. Ideally you need your link to be pahsed into content.

    sometimes i have better experiences with submitting articles to the directories!


    Directories are low power links, but things like page rank originate from directory links - thus add your site to yahoo! directory for just 300 smackers and next pr update you will show at least pr1.

    Good luck

    May be you are not getting backlinks for your blog because directories take some time to live your links. Directories are more useful to create backlinks for website or blog but you should use only high PR directories.

    Directories are not fake , Almost right and working properly, basic purpose is to use the back links. You can submit the sites through software or can be manually.

    Most are just link farms.

    I can assure you that all my directories are real. When I've added some of my sites (where I can check the analytics) to the directories, the links show up. Just got to pick some that have been around for a while, submit to the correct category and away you go.

    For that one must avoid the auto approving ones. auto approving=junk link farm.
