Do you think submit to directory is effect?

Now i have submit my site to lots directories, and i have a question,is it effect?You know some of them need you add his link in your site,and some of them need money, if i add it free,maybe i need wait for a long time and at last it could not add mine.
And i 'm puzzled whether there have people log in the directory site to see it?
So i think maybe it just wast time. Right?

As a soon-to-be ex-directory owner my opinion is a big fat NO! Links are only effective if they are from sites relevant to your own.

:)I read your question regarding submitting sites.
I found that submitting site to places like google ask yahoo and the other top ones are good.
My question is
I submitted to a few dodgy sites that state you have to link to them.
I did.
Do you think that these sites are usefull or are the simply getting free links improving there rating and offering paid stuff.
Should I delete them from my site? As I dont see any improvement?
And do they add spyware or hidden stuff that I cant get rid off?
Also I get loads more viagra rubbish adverts and casino ones to!
Do they sell my e-mail?
Finally who do you recommend submitting too (both of you):D

Hi,

My personal opinion is it's not a good idea to go with hundreds of directories to submit your site. Just pick up couple of top most directories to submit your site. It would be better if you find directories related to your them.

Some of them have effect, you can read those I tested out in my blog http://www.veikoherne.com/2008/07/su...waste-of-time/

Feel free to submit my directory at http://www.topwebcat.com

some directories are good are fast approving and have a good influence on your page rank so will help you. but you have to know which ones cuz there are others that doesn't really do anything and the part with add reciprocal i honestly don't recommend it to you they will gain more from this situation that you will so it's not efficient.i've been working in SEO for a while and i can tell you for sure. but if you wanna someone to submit it for you for an amount of money be sure you check that your site will be there not for just a short period of time.And how someone has told you before be sure you submit it to the right category and if you may to related directories.

hi.
Exactly the same question in ma mind was running down. I have experienced by ma own self that DIR do matter but it will take time to approve . I suggest you to make Submission to DIR it will give value in future ven it is approved. Problem with DIR is it will take very long time to approve.... from quality sites.... Bit waste of time but it will credit to our site as well for improving rank in searches as well...

Directory submission, ARTICLE submission and etc are just steps of SEO but practically they don't work according to what we want. We just have to do it because they will increase the chances of getting traffic thts all.

I have submitted my site to free directories and I do not receive any visitors from there. It is waste of time, in my opinion. Instead, I am for getting quality back links from relevant sites.

That's odd, Silvia. You contradicted your previous post. Which one is true?

Yes, directory submission is an effective SEO technique and submitting links on free directory submission sites can get you quality backlinks which can increase the PageRank as well as traffic of your website. Try to avoid paid submissions and those which require reciprocal links.

Directory submission is useful. But you need to submit your site in quality directories than it help you to more backlink for your site. Right now i have many backlinks from some good quality directory it also help to increase your site PR.

The following are the benefits of search engine submission:

• Search engine submission very cost effective, since there is no payment made to the search engine for placing.
• The cost is fixed, once you incur the initial cost then the per click decreases while paid search is only a variable cost.
• Resources are mandatory for analyzing the key phrases and also to finish the optimization on all the site pages, thus media costs are minimal.
• Along with paid-search website search engine Submission Company gives you specific targeted audience.
• Moreover the visitors will visit the site that is referred by SEO, when searching for any specific information on the products you sell or any related item.
• Thus it leaves you at the realm of algorithm and not in Internet marketing company control.

The following are the disadvantages of SEO:

• Not everyone can do SEO, the challenge is that there are too many pages in the indexes and your rank depends on SERPS whose algorithm constantly changes thus making pages needs you to have specialized knowledge.
• The other issue is that competitors can use unethical techniques thus putting your website in disadvantage.
• In very competitive markets it’s difficult to make it to the list in the top few. This happens when pay per click is used.
• Though the high rank sites do get advantages but due to the lack of visibility it can be daunting to have a good businesses running.
• Any competitor’s next step cannot be predicted nor can they be kept an eye on.
• Thus with search engine submission services it is almost impossible to predict your return for the money you put in.
Thus know that SEO work well if you have estimation on long term returns, it is a long term strategy and thus it will reap you long term benefits.

Definitely , It will be effective one, but its utterly depends upon the directory quality which you are going to submit. Select high pr directory.
