Directory was an easiest way for seo. but i heared that it is not more effective . you can get traffic from here . but you can not get a good result for it in seo

[Ryan Getty]

Yes, directories are still important for getting quality links and fast indexing and traffic.

[Goodinfo]

yeah they boost your page rank and work on quality directories otherwise it even do bad effect. Now a days google is more interested in quality back links and punishing sites that use link farms.

[SmithGreen]

I did my research and fond we need to use those directories only which have good PA and DA. And directories should be business specific.

For me Directory submission is still effective, let say 25% only in your backlinks. because sometimes it takes 3 to 4 months to approve your site.

[dagnyjbarber]

somewhat it is effective when done is good sites but still niche submission is better.

Offcourse ,there's no point in submiting to directories with no page rank and i think the niche can be general and still be effective for seo.

I think it is still effective for long term plan, because mostly web directories approve link after long period.

Your directory listings will get listed in the search engine listings. Directory Submission is helpful to increase backlink but we have to take care about directories whether they provide one-way dofollow back link, approve our site in short time and directories are cached regularly by search engine. This will send you highly targeted backlink and traffic to your website even if your website does not have top rankings in the search engines. These are just some of the top benefits of directory submission.

I'm sure that directory submission is not effective now , I try directory submission last year , but there is not any effect , I think it is just a way to get money for some websites .

[gopalsareen]

Its good for increasing rank but not totaly depend on that

[David_Thomas]

Bulk directory submission is not effective, only those directories are helpful which have Good PR, Alexa Rank & following Google Guidelines.

Hi, is is combined with other tactics can be effective. Depends on the niche, but as a standalone tactic is not effective anymore.

Directory submission is still effective for SEO. Directories provide quality backlink and traffic also, and help to increase SERP.

[yogeshyadavseo]

No, I am not agree for this Things, because directory is one of the most important part of SEO. Directory helps to index your website in Google Search Engine.

Directories submission effect the ranking but it takes long time for approval. There are many other techniques like social bookmarking and forum posting. Article submission also plays a measure role to enhance the websites.

There is no chance to ignore it completely because there are so many other techniques which you need to follow for generating traffic but you can get traffic in bulk from directories
