    I have been doing web directory submission for so long for different websites. But its very sad to see from my Google Analytics report that none of these directory sites bring that much traffic to my websites as expected. So, does web directory submission has value like earlier days?

    Hi,

    Yes, It has value if we make backlinks with high PR or high authority directories.

    Are you submitting to general or niche directories? Niche directories, for the most part, are more likely to send direct traffic to the sites they list.

    I've submitted my site to many web directories but I don't get that much traffic from them.

    I believe it still has, especially if you posted your site on good directory site as well as putting it on the right categories.

    You should not rely completely on directory submissions, focus on other aspects like article submissions, social bookmarking, social networking, blogging. Directory submission is the easiest way to build back links, submit in niche directories to reap more benefit.

    Web directories a just a way to get top positions in Google. That is where you can get a good traffic. Also you could consider promoting you website in Facebook and Twitter. And if you are interested in Directory Submitters, you can try a Dino Browser’s submitter. It will save you some time.

    I think it will help your PR. Give the directory a good description and make sure you list in the correct category.
