    Hi, I am new to this and was wanting to know if it worth ever paying any directories for a submission. There are hundreds, how do you know which ones to submit to, and if so which ones to pay?

    Well there are thousands of free directories on the internet you can submit to them all, as every back link counts. As far as paid directories are concerned check their PR if they have a decent PR of 4 or 5 get decent traffic and have low-price then go for them.

    Remember not every paid directory is a good directory.

    Thanks for the advice, I guess it's common sense really. Do you submit by hand or some other way?

    And it will be good if you do free directory submissions in start, rather than going for paid directory submission.. Lots of directories are shutting down these days...

    My advice is, NOT to use directory submissions,.
    There are most of the directories do not approve and that will not good backlinks, instead of it, you can go for combination of article sub +bookmark+blog commenting

    But it wont hurt you to get links for free from free directories, suppose you submit to 1000 directories and 300 reject your site 700 still list your site and out of that 700 hundreds suppose only 350 are good links so this makes 350 one-way back links for free is it bad to have free links?????:confused:

    I am a real noob with this but there is no such thing as a bad link to your site?However, If i pay someone to submit my site to 1000 directories, what proof do i have that they have done this? Also if i was writing search algorthims i would be suspect of a sudden spurt of backlinks from meaningless directories, what is the point in directories, who actually uses them,?? surely it says nothing about the quality of your domain? Google must be more intelligent than this?

    I really dono about paid directory and its services. There are lots of good quality free directories are available in net to serve you. Why do you need to go with paid directory services?

    There are so many free directories on net.And while doing directory sub. choose appropriate category.So that ur link will be approved, otherwise it will be rejected.

    I would only recommend submitting to directories for a new site which is not registered on any sites or directories.

    In my opinion the best directories for backlinking are DMOZ and Yahoo.Most other directories are useless and don't waste your money on sites that promise submitting your site to millions of search engines and directories

    Directory submission was part of SEO, But these days they dont give enuf pr juice because of their size.
    However you can submit to free directory to get a free backlink to your site

    I think paid directory submission is not to useful.
    Because many paid directory but not give good service to their client.
    Except, we know directory which we want to pay is very famous and good like dmoz.

    Yes but you want to make sure it is with the right program or company. I found one that worked great for me. www.traffic-bug.com (this is not an affiliate link). Check it out and let me know what you think.
