It's not gonna help you very much in improving SEO. Google in these days don't count directories link as a VOTE. But, you can only submit to high authority and PR sites. They can give you some benefits

Yes, sort out some niche relevant directories and pay for a featured listing.

With the exception of a couple major directories like DMOZ, Yahoo Direcotry, and JoeAnt I wouldn't even consider wasting my time. Maybe the occasional high quality niche directory, but honestly I would not waste time with 99% of the directories out there.

In my opinion I find them borderline worthless when it comes to SEO. Back in 2005 and before, sure they were fine, but I don't think Google takes most of them seriously anymore. Essentially, it's just another paid link.

In terms of traffic who on earth actually uses a directory anymore to find a website? ... Probably no one. I sure don't.

There are a couple exceptions depending on your niche. For law firms a site like AVVO is definitely worth your time given how much traffic it gets.

Major High PR Directories and niche relevant directories are good enough from SEO point of view.

 

[wordpress123]

Yes only directory submissions with high Pr are helpful for the SEO.

 

[Sam789]

Directory submission are the best Off page optimization techniques which is really very helpful as an SEO. But even in directories you have to check ranking of the directories.

High quality paid directories with manual editorial review? Brilliant for rankings.

Mass submission to free directories? Incoming penalty!

Directory Submission helps you for sure....But Bulk submission and irrelevant directory will Kick your Ass... Geolocation always charms your directory...

 

[clpik]

It is a good way to boost ranks, though not on its own. High PR is also important

 

[eakphothik]

Every link counts. They'll always work, just be careful.
