    After the last Google Penguin Updates, Some web master has option that may be directory submission are bad SEO technique, but as far as my knowledge it is still an important and good for SEO. But I have statistics that some of my sites are working great with directory submission, their traffic is increased, PR increased, and also the keyword rank increase. I invite all of DP ( Specially Senior SEO, Directory owner) member to share their opinion.

    Unfortunately, from my experience and from peers knowledge i have found that directory submission leads to drop in keywords rankings and their by traffics. It seems that Google is finding links from such sites as spamming.

    Can you provide any proof, or you follow the assumption.

    Penguin update effects to on-page SEO instead of off-page SEO.

    Google Penguin has targeted mainly on Keyword Staffing, cloaking. But as per the Matt Cutts, Google Penguin has also targeted on link schemes which is the part of the OffPage optimization.

    it still works very well for my sites. But I only use the good directories, directories are indexed by google and usually the paid directories. They are well maintained and organized, less than 50 links per page. You choose the best suitble category for your site, and google count your link as relevant content and natural linking.

    You can find some good tips on this article http://blog.directorymaximizer.com/...ions-are-effective-even-after-penguin-update/

    I thought old school avenue are less value in link building and here penguin updates that's need quality content, how about article marketing? Even you create good quality content but penguin don't like duplicate content? It is mean that quality content good only for one article submission sites? 'coz if you submit it again you have now duplicate content... can any one have more explanation regarding my concern?

    There are some reasons why you were hit could be any or all of the following:
    1- Duplicate content
    2-Keyword stuffing
    3-Sending automated queries to Google
    4- Websites distributing malware
    5-Affiliates with poor content

    Its drive against spamming and unethical SEO techniques has taken a new turn, as the search engine giant warns websites to remove all the paid links, new or old.

    I got good keyword ranking and page-rank after penguin update and after doing all the activities, directory, bookmarking, article, forums posting, classifieds, blog comments.

    Make sure you work all off page activities with quality and quantity

    Yeah. Still i think directory submission will be bad, because of the directory sites are in poor rank which affect our rank from google.

    Hello, sisatel
    Can you give any reference to proof your point, because as far as I have searched about Google Penguin.

    I agree with

    "Penguin update effects to on-page SEO instead of off-page SEO"

    The Penguin update affects on page seo. If you take care of that by creating good content and quality you will be in good standing with Google.
