Does ANY traffic come from directories?

Anyone had success getting traffic from directories? I know directories are solid for link building but I don't think I've ever had a visitor come to any of my sites from a directory. Maybe I'm just in the wrong niches (or directories!).

 

I found directories useless for me... I didn't gain better rankings in serp, neither traffic from them. I just found that i wasted my money and time for them.

 

I don't bother with directories. Seems outdated. We have Search Engines to find what we need now.

 

i don't get traffic from directories but they helped for my SERPS and PR

 

I don't think anyone uses directories nowadays to find what they're looking for. As for boosting your SERPs, I don't know how useful directory submissions are...

 

directories are used mainly for link building, having traffic from them is a good bonus but is not really expected anyways

 

Directories dont give traffic and increase pageRank. Its better to get a link from MIT website than 10 unknown directories.

 

Directories gave me 0 traffic and no increase in PR.

 

Yeah, but it's easier to get a link from 10 unknown directories than the MIT website.

 

directories are great for building back links, the traffic you get from them isn't exactly from the directory itself, rather from the increased ranking in the keywords you're targeting
