    There are too many link directories out there.
    But what are the use of them.?
    Are they really helpful to improve SEO of sites ?

    Directory sites are just link aggregators and no quality content.
    I never see a search result from those directories in Google or any SE.

    So why people are still making directory sites and submitting links to them.

    Only useful to those who use them. Or if they have authority and are not preventing outgoing links from being crawled.

    A link is a link. good luck.

    Hi,

    Link directories are used to promote your site. It is one of the initial channel of SEO strategies. In link dir. we can give our web site URL, they are of different types like paid, free, sticky.

    Definitely they are very useful for SEO purpose, because we get lots of back links from link directories.

    Some says that it became ineffective to SEO but in my opinion, it still helps!

    Yeah getting a link from somewhere is important.
    However the quality of the link is too low.
