    most of directories would buy "computer" traffic, but we never use this trick, only real traffic is worth.

    Don't expect a single visitor from directories.They are just for backlinks and spiders.

    Yeah, but only paid directories and a few bid directories. Free directories never send traffic.

    directories are not for traffic sending policy basically they give backlink to stable your web site and can easily search on search eng and increasing pr for the site ..

    only webmaster related sites can expect direct traffic from directories.....but u dont list your site in dirs for direct traffic but for seo boost.

    I only submitted to about ten directories and get around 8 visitors a month from them. They certainly don't increase visitors to your site, in my opinion and I don't think Google values links from directories too highly.

    I beg to differ. A lot of the traffic that people see from directories, while not necessarily initially from the directory itself directory are derived from search results where the directory listing/entries show up in an SE.

    I've had several people tell us over the years that they have seen traffic from our directories. It may not be massive, but it IS traffic none the less.

    Its not all about building links and PR... YMMV

    True. It can't be a coincidence that the second highest keyword referrer (after Blog Directory) from Google is the blog with the most hits in the Directory.

    Occasionally I do get visitors from directories, but usually they're pretty targeted directories.

    Very little traffic that can be ignored.

    I have one site with 10,000 visitors per month and rarely see any visits from a directory.
