It depends on the scenario and the link juice because sometime a good directory provides your higher link juice than the Bookmarking.
Hello Dude As per mine experience Both are SEO tatics. But Bookmarking is more better according to directory submission. Because it give result instantly but directory submission make a long time like 2-3 / 4-5 / 6-12 months review. Directory submission is easy way to submit info but Bookmarking submission is best......
Using directories is good as you can do hundreds or thousands at once and because they all take different amount of time to accept/decline your submission, you can be slowly gaining backlinks from the one submission for many months down the line. A constant flow of links over time is a good thing as far as SEO goes...
Directories serve the need of finding information in their websites which has lot amount of categories in them to let users submit their relevant content in niche and most appropriate categories according to the user.
every component of SEO has its own importance if we compare each component then results should be different just used SEO components for improvement
Generate back-links by Directory submission is very slow process as compare to bookmarking. In bookmarking when visitors visito bookmarking sites than they hit the site. In directory if we use high pr sites than traffic increasing very fast.
Directory Submission is also as effective as bookmarking but the difference is that directories take a long time to get approve usually more than 2 months.
ds vs sb (ds approval timing so long but it is very useful forever) sb approval same time so, ds and sb must important part of seo.
Both are good for SEO but if the directory has a high PR your site is more likely to get a high PR as well. Higher PR means higher preference in search engine results listings. Which means you get a higher chance of visitors coming from search engines. And when more relevant people visit your website you are more likely to have more sales of the products or whichever stuff you are marketing. If you want your site to be indexed by google, the fastest way is to open a google webmaster account and submit an XML sitemap of your website. Google will crawl each and every page in that sitemap and will list your site. But listing of the site does not mean it will appear in the search engine results, it may for example like on 34566666th page of the search result. Obviously the searcher will click the results which appear on the first page or at most go to the second page. But not until 34566666th page! So to make sure you end up in the first or second page you need to have a higher page rank. To get a higher page rank submit your website in a link directory, promote it on forums, blogs, signature and articles.
Directories and social bookmarking both are basic and important step for the link building and traffic.
There is a difference between directory submission & bookmarking. Directory submission does not allowed on the spot backlink but bookmark gives on the spot backlink. That is one of the advantage.
Directories provide lots of links to your site and when your competition is real tough it will might the edge for you to get the success over competitors. so never under-estimate any thing in Internet marketing.
Directory Submissions are here to stay for a long period of time. It helps you build links from credible sources which establishes your credibility in the online world. Bookmarking on the other hand is another link building tactic. Both Submissions+Bookmarking are very much effective in link building.
Dear If we are compare between bookmarking or directory submission then I am recommended for Social bookmarking coz it's give do-follow link in minimum of time with long time while directory submission has taken more than time comparison to SBM for link approval. So Bookmarking is best I hope ! Cheers
