    I have a question, why do I need to submit website to all directories (paid and unpaid) whilst it bring almost no traffic to me.
    Even though I have not been listed in big guys such as yahoo, dmoz, my question is "is it really worth a while keep submitting to the directory?"

    yes it is worthwhile.
    just like shivam and richie said.
    It is a good way in building inbound links and PR development.
    Good luck :)

    Id say its worth while too, i probably get zero traffic from them, but the way i look at it is its another link pointing back to my site.

    Well because directories can give you a decent amount traffic and also free one way links but if it is paid then you should draw the line which directories to submit to and which not to.

    Some of the good paid directories are : Yahoo, BestOfTheWeb, Gimpsy, GoGuides etc.

    The free ones are: Dmoz, Wow Directory and also the Zunch Directory.

    Talking of directories, i recently realised that both of my sites and both blogs are all in the yahoo directory, i was pleased to find that out, not sure if it will make much difference personally, but i was still pleased all the same, with all the talk of getting accepted in yahoo, dmoz etc a lot of the time.
