    Directories are the easiest way to build inbound links and maybe had a chance to get traffic.

    I've seen pretty good results from directory submissions. Obviously, it's not the only link building I do for my sites, but it is a nice easy way to pick up a few high PR links.

    Also, I've noticed that a lot of directories will start off free and then switch to paid once they get higher PR and more traffic. I have a couple of really solid old links on directories that are now paid. Every now & then I even get a few visitors.

    Directory submissions helps in
    • getting back links
    • getting some traffic
    • getting site indexed more frequently
    • getting higher PageRank
    • getting higher positions in SERPs
    • getting more presence

    Yes, it is tedious job. Should do for better positions.

    I think there are many good reasons to do so also. It is very tedious and even gets boring after just doing the 1 submission :) But I have seen some increases after submitting and not in direct click through traffic... give it a few weeks and search engine results seem to increase a little.
