    I had read many SEO books

    it say "place your site in directory" bcz search engine will look your sites in directory.

    If it's true how search engine bot knows directory site's?:p

    the bot was made to see all sites, including directories - this is his destination

    Its a good way to get a site found if your site is new too, no need to submit to a search engine, just get some directory backlinks and your site gets found quickly.

    Because the "Web" is created when sites link to each other. As links are discovered by the search engines, they are crawled.

    I agree with your SEO book. Quality directory scripts (and probably the not so good ones) include sitemaps to make it easy for search engines to spider and find the listings.

    You'll get found whether you have a sitemap or not, but having one, especially a good one helps even more. Don't expect miracles from getting listed in a directory. Most out there don't get fully indexed for a range of reasons, if they don't get indexed well then your site won't get seen either. Doing your homework on one's that are indexing well will help you choose.

    why not crawl web directory?! it is not toxic!
    anyway someone or lot of people are damaging the industry,
    make google angry and ban them.
    it is a good news for us who own quality sites.

    Hi I have an amazing program site, Which pays 20$ instantly

    All you have to do is follow the "Advertise To Real Buyers Guide".
    Your web page and autoresponder does all the selling for you.

    I have tried to do the same thing which is mentioned.
    But still my site is not ranken at the top.

    ie http://paysforever.com/SP6675.htm

    So i starting searching in the internet about seo and the
    search engine crawler.

    After reading many sites i decided to create my own site
    using squidoo.

    ie http://www.squidoo.com/muruganse

    then i submitted in some directories for some time
    now i got listed in the google.

    So i believe submitting to directories will work some times.

    It takes some time to get the directory backlinks to be indexed but you will surely get help in future from those submissions.

    Submission of the website in the directories help alot. And search engines robot programmed for directories and websites both. So it crawls both.

    One way link from directories is base and starting of SEO for your site then after you should try for articles and more tricks coz directory submission services is cheap and best services to earn traffics and to collect one way links for your sites.
