Better results and traffic from what?
Most directories won't send you a lot of traffic, but some will. People generally submit their sites to directories for the links. There's debate over how effective it is, but it's usually accepted that submitting to a few general directories is a good idea.
Also niche directories are usually good to submit to as well. You might get more traffic and even better targeted traffic from niche directories.
A common way to find them is to search for them. You can try things like:
"keywords" + directory
"keywords" + "add url"
"keywords" + "submit url
"keywords" + "add site"
"keywords" + "submit site"
As you find some you'll probably notice they may use words other than add, submit, url, site so you can try different combinations.
I warn you though it's very tedious so be prepares. Some directories will require you to pay. Make sure you really think paying for a submission is worth it before you pay. Many directories will require a link back from you. I wouldn't bother with them. Directories exist to link to sites not beg for links from sites. If it requires a link back it's probably not worth the link they give you.
You will find some directories that will allow you submit for free and without asking for a link. Those are the ones you're looking for. Keep in mind though that the easier it is to get any link the less likely that link will be worth a lot.
Usually the harder it is and the more work you have to do to get a link the more likely that link is going to make a significant difference in how well your page ranks.
