You don’t want to land on Google Sandbox. Do you? If you are site is new only try and do submissions to those directories which are new too. This is so because new sites generally lack PR, content and traffic, which are the souls of one’s site. Submitting the site to new directories will definitely increase the approval rates as they have to show links to their traffic. Submitting your site to old and reputed directories will not yield any results. These sites are generally looking for more established sites. Also, try choosing directories which allow deep linking. That means they allow you to submit your website’s inner page link. In the end keep the SEO word in your mind while submitting to various directories. Thank you Pro.seods

I dont agree because: Also a genuinely new web directory will lack pr, being indexed, barely known to the search engines yet. Submitting a site to older and reputed directories will yield results, its wrong to suggest that it wouldn't. No their not generally looking for more established sites, theres lots of things taken into consideration by an older and reputeable directory but if you have content and pass the other requirements then theres no reason that they would not allow a newer submitted site to be listed. "We all know that there are millions of directories" Theres actually not millions, ive said this a million times though, dont exagerate. General or Precise: The terms are general or niche directories.
Edited that part. Thank you. By new directory sites I do not mean literally very new sites. Yes those sites will have less pr, indexed pages, etc. But your new site will get indexed much more quickly as those new directories are looking to put link on their site. New directories will become old one day or the other. Submitting your site to more reputed sites will not guarantee a approval and even if you get a approval that should be around like....3 to 4 months.By that time even you don't know how many new directories will approve your link and become more reputed in the society. You never know.
