I want to employ a manual submission service to directories - there are a lot of them here, with fees ranging from a few dollars to a hundred dollars. Yes, I admit I do not have the time to submit the URLs of my blogs myself to directories so it will be a great idea to hire someone else. But before I actually get such service, can someone really tell me if there really are solid and substantial benefits that directory submission can do to blogs. Will being included in directories help my blogs as far as SEO and increase in traffic is concerned? I just want to be sure I will not wast my money of this if in case it will not work. Although I really hope directory submission can do wonders for my blogs. Any sound advise pls.
You will hardly get any traffic from directories. But submitting to quality directories could help your site ranking higher in Google.
