    Directories are undoubtedly a good resource for backlinks. But one shouldn't use software or any tool for the submission. Also, the directories with higher pagerank, unique IP address and well organized structure add more value to your website.

    Directories are very much useful for SEO as they are a source of backlinks and also gives credibility for the site in eyes of Search Engines(as site is posted in relevant category by webmasters)
    Thus directories act as a resource for SEO
    Thanks
    :)

    Submitting your site to niche web directories that pass along PR (dofollow) is a great way to achieve more frequent indexing in addition to increasing web traffic. Adding the proper meta tags and descriptions also help in achieving such results. DMOZ and a few other high PageRank directories are a great way to start.
    Good Luck.

    Directories does not help SEO much as they used to be 5 years back. The search engine algorithms do not value directory links much. However directories will be a launch pad for new sites. Also we get regular traffic from Dmoz.org in which we are listed for 3 years now.

    Backlinks from directories have their role in the ecosystem, you need quality as well as quantity, it's all about making everything seem natural.
