DirectoriesA discusson about directories and not sites with directories included within them. Directories include sites like DMOZ, Yahoo Directory, etc.
When someone will search some keywords on any search engine, if your directory contain the specific word it will pop up in front so like this you will get some traffic on your web site

If people on directory find services or products of your kind then you might get traffic for your website as well but for targeted traffic you need to advertise a banner over websites which are related to your niche.
For me at least 200 only. If you are already doing Blog Commenting, and bookmarking. That is just base on experience. Quality articles over Too much Directory. In my own opinion.
Directory submission is the cheapest method to procure one way links,however you need to check the PR of the directory before submitting and if you submit to relevant and authority ones,you will get good results.
the directories can also get high ranks for your submitted keywords and thus when user will search for that keyword and if that directory page pops to the top ranking then user will go there and can go to your site as well.
Secondly the users sometime search through the directories to get relevant information as on directories the resources are sorted according to the themes so user can get to your site this way also.
Website submission on trusted directories may improve your SERP rankings... Because backlinks from such directories are certainly high quality backlinks and search engines look into their respective directories for relevant search results.
Directory submission may improve your website and thus your traffic.
