    Hi

    after the tragic updates of the SEO sector especially by Google , I wonder if directories are still good for getting better result on search .
    Alot of directories have falling down in the last years , and less people are submitting their links to directories .

    what do you see ?

    What exactly was so tragic? And if it was the "SEO sector" that was hit, what does that have to do with directories? There has been mass panic and so much knee jerk reaction that the changes which SEO's are making are causing the most harm; the updates are secondary.

    However Google is already changed the SEO strategy, but according to me directories still make a good effect in SEO. But you should have to use unique description for each submission as it will make an attractive view to the viewer and obviously get relax from copyscape too.

    Every link is good for SEO, if they are part of a bigger balanced plan, so yes directory submissions are good, even these days.

    But alone , without great content and other popularity sources, you will get no results.

    About Tragic Update?? what kind Update make that tragedy ?

    the falling 1 is directory trying to manipulated PR or they try to sell link in purpose passing PR. after update at 17 th Jan 2013 & 4th Feb 2013. i can see. google still give a good Signal for Web & Articles Directory with giving High PR for some Directory.

    So many Directory get Higher PR than before after update. in other hand many directory getting losing their Rank the worst they got Slap by Google.

    Directories are still relevant, You only need to post in quality directories which maintain their category and accept only unique description. Spammers and some cheap SEO masters are manipulating the whole thing and only they are being penalized by google. You need to find quality directories and submit properly. Go for quality not quantity and of-course quality directory do charge for submission :)

    Since 2 years ago directories are not so relevant.
    I used directories in the past and was fine. Anyway, I decide to left before the "tragic updates".Prefer articles, incontent links on related sites or blogs...just other ways.
