    my site is only a couple of months old and is doing suprisingly well on keywords and content alone, but I really need to establish some backlinks to it. how do you decide which are the best directories to choose, is it better to go for the really big ones, or the more specialised ones for instance.

    Yes, it definitely helps. But you have to provide good keywords, titles and descriptions to them.

    100% it does. But you want quality directories - don't go for just any directory, ones that accept everyone (eg they take spam sites) are worth less then ones that have guidelines. Because google picks up on the fact that a site is linking to poor quality sites and doesn't give as much linkjuice or worth to the links from that site.

    I run directories, but I would love to have:No link back,but what happens? I get tons of spam-junk sites!, Yes,they help you get pr and more vistitors, but also take an article directory as well. (run: 300? i think directories........not counting)

    They certainly seem to do more good than harm.

    Any method that's considered good today, may become dead tomorrow. So your point is valid. Directory submission is an old method but it still works.

    I would disagree with you on social bookmark front. It may get you instant traffic, but most valuable SB sites are no follow so you don't get SEO benefit. On top of that SB traffic doesn't 'buy' things, it's the organic traffic that converts better.
