    Directory submission is done only to create back links for your site or web page. Social bookmarking helps you in creating a good traffic to your site and if your post gets more votes then the back link will have a great value.

    Directory submission means your site is listing in some Website directories, similar to a text book index page. If you posting to some good directories then you will get some back links also.
    But Social bookmarking is entirely different from Directory submission. You can bookmark many pages of the same website into a single bookmarking site. So that you will get more traffic from these resources, social bookmarking is the best way for promoting new updates in your website.

    This is a easy question.
    No user will enter your website in a directory. But of course to Social Bookmarking Sites.
    Google know that.

    Directory submission is performed to increase back links to a website. Whereas main motive of social bookmarking is traffic increase. Social bookmarking is not helpful in link building because most of the bookmarking sites provide nofollow links.

    Social Bookmarking - Is a method for Internet users to organize, store, manage and search for bookmarks of resources online.
