    Directory submissions means the process of submitting your site in different available web directories on www and link building is the process to make more back links for a site in which directories submissions is also a step/part.

    Exactly. Link building is just the process of getting links to your site from other websites, you can get links from articles, directories, forums, blogs or any website.

    Directory submission is only one way of building links to your site.

    Firstly, you do not do link building by " typing keywords + submit site, submit link,etc. " in the Search Engines.

    Directory submission , as TMedia pointed out, are just one of the many ways to obtain links.

    Link Building is simply building links to your site. Some people prefer to buy them; others choose to run a viral campaign that may naturally attract links. It depends on you.

    Directory submission is just a part of link building. But there are also saying that you do not need to submit to directories since the links are of very low quality.

    As others mentioned there are multiple ways to build backlinks including forums, blog posts, blog comments, article directories, social bookmarks as well as directory submission.

    However, you should keep in mind that you can do paid for review as well as free directory submission to get backlinks for your website.
