where do you find that?? Mate both are very important , but if you ask me i will get credit to social bookmarkings these days . Sites as : digg, delicious, reddit, twitter, facebook, google +. Although the directories are important if they are old domains with high pr on root page . At least Page rank 4. I hope this is helpfull.
Both are considered as an important parts of off page optimization. but the social bookmarking sites are mostly community websites, which means that hundreds of thousands of people may visit these sites, bookmarking is good from traffic or ranking point of view.
Both directory submissions and social bookmarking are equally important.. Directory submissions can help get your site indexed faster, target specific keywords, increase traffic and ultimately higher search engine ranking positions. Social Bookmarking on the other hand increases your website's visibility and awareness as millions of people watch and share your post/site. It also increases the traffic and helps in getting more links..
In my point of view directory submission is beneficial for the site for page traffic with high pr directories.
You have to include directories as a part of your overall marketing plan. Each type of link building should really be a type of marketing. Directories help you a lot because you can control the link text and also the relevance of the site that links to you. As a result, directories help the search engines tell what niche you're in. Where social bookmarking is more general in nature, but helps the search engines get a feel for the quality of your site.
Both are Important and Both should be Done, Social Book Marking is very important for getting more Visitors
Thanks for your informative information in this topic site you if you really need directories website list you must go to this bookmarkingdirectory
Personally, I prefer just doing some good ol' networking with some real people. SEO's too easy to work with that you can automate that stuff by paying someone to do it for you. Fiverr's already oozing with people who are willing to do it for a measly 5 bucks.
Directories usually help to get good back links to your site .Bookmarking sites also gives you back links and also they will send more traffic to our site directly. I mean to say we will get more traffic from bookmarking sites than directories.
Search Engine Optimization campaign could not be completed without directory submission, as they still are a very solid source of gaining some perfect One-way links for your website!!!
Both are important, but I would give more preference to directory submissions. Bookmarking sites usually have a large number of links as compared to directories which accept only quality sites.
Social bookmarking gives your instant traffic but in case of directory submissions, it may take time before the trafiic starts coming but will last long.
Directory submission is proven to be a wonderful method for gaining quality one-way incoming back links.Submitting to directories are the simplest way to get quality incoming links.
I've used directories for a long time now and they are a great source of traffic...You just need to submit your articles to the proper categories. The better the content, the more traffic you'll get.
Both are good for seo. But directories takes much time for approval and social bookmarking sites give you fast approval and it will be index by Google very fast.
