Directory Submissions dead????? Well let me put it this way....Directories were and are still good....the only catch is that you should look at good Search engine friendly directories. I agree because of newer methods of getting links, the directories have slipped down the ranking, but they still are a good and reliable source of links 
Directory submissions are still effective in link building, although the impact is minimal, but it’s there nonetheless. I still have my sites that continue to rank pretty well for terms that I target through directory submissions, and I know that for a fact since there’s nothing else that I do for them at the moment.
So, I’d definitely say for the money involved it definitely is a worthwhile effort…
Having said that, Directory submissions do help in some sort of way, although with the eclipse of time, I’d have to say it’s marginal. But remember, every drop leads to a mighty ocean, and given that they’re one of the simpler ones to do, make the most of it. But remember, while you’re building links to your site, don’t just rely on directory submissions, but do it in combination with other things and you surely would see success |
