Is Directory Submission Banned?

Before some time directory is the only way to promote website in top 10 google search result.
but now it will banned.
can someone tell me about directory submission.

 

I do not think, that directory submission is banned. I would say, that spammy web directories might impact your ranking, however valuable directories should be considered as a link.

 

As above, Directory submission is ok but choose well maintained quality directories, Don't submit to the masses, Do over as many months but just as important, Keep it related to your website's activities / content.

Best Regards

 

It is not banned but considered spammy and don't worth to submit website to 100s of directories.

 

One really standing out directory was DMOZ, but it was closed long ago.....
There is no serious directory out there now. By serious I mean without spam/scam

 

Are you talking about web directories or business directories?

Best regards

 

Both in fact.

 

Avoid the submissions in bulk of directories. The best idea, select authority sites and avoid spammy web directories.

 

Thats another valid point

 

Not at all

 

it's not banned because directory submissions is an effective strategy in a off page seo.
but try to avoid bulk of directories for your business.for good ranking you just put your business in 2 or 3 directories in a regular base.

 

I disagree, effective strategy, no? link diversity, yes.
and too much of any one source is very bad.

 

i never heard something like that, its not banned but users need be more picky and carefully to pick directory.

 

submmission to quality directory should be ok.

 

Diversity to different types of sites and choosing only quality sites even in directories is key
