yeah its true Directory submission is basic of SEO.we have many considerations,so many things that cover your web site so try to do forums posting and blog commenting,Article,Social Book marking.....etc also Getting back links is the only way to increase the page rank......
Try to submit into PR3 directory or higher , than you will see backlinks very quick . This is the way how it works. Otherwise you'll be waitinig over 3 months to get results.
Directory submission is an ongoing process, do not stop with 100 or 200.Make it regular to see the results in cumming 2-3 months.
The same problem is with me?? Well yeah google doesn't show probably all back links ,may b this one is also one reason.
You get anything from those N/A PR directories pages... It's amazing all the ignorance about back links...Oh well...
I submitted to 100's of directories over 2 years ago. They still don't show, they still get 0 traffic. Total waste of time.
Hi, Not only directory submission you have to do onpage as well as offpage like article posting, bookmarking,forum posting, blog commenting etc.
You can submit until you are blue in the face, if you do not have anything that interests google, or you are submitting junk, re-branded articles, link farms, or what-ever it is you are submitting, then google will just pass you by, everytime...so keep submitting the same article/links to 100's of article directories, and keep asking people on DP "how come my PR is still 0 after 2 years" now you know.
unlike yahoo or bing, google doesn't blindly show your back links. It considers things like "link farming" and a site's PR.
