I believe directories that are highly relevant are great, and some other well known directories such as business, botw and yahoo are useful. Other than that I steer clear.

I am very careful when I submit sites to website directories. Many of them are very spammy looking and the last thing I want to do is be associated with them. Also, I only submit to free directories because there are just too many other methods of free backlinking that are just as good or better.

I am not sure directory submission is worth my time, but i think it will help if submit to quality directory’s relevant section. I don’t think it is worth paying to submit link since the benefit is unknown. Also you can pay for directory submission service if this work is too tedious for you.

I strongly recommend that you turn the No Follow off in your comment section.

I’ll watch Google Webmaster Tools, and if the links don’t show up after a couple of weeks — I won’t go back to that blog again.

Another suggestion: you should have a Top Commentator widget installed.

Do Follow and Top Commentator will ensure that you have a successful blog with lots of readers!

Directory submission is dead you don’t get any traffic from it except from the directory owner when he check your website at the time of approving it LOlz
but I still recommend submission to local directories or niche directories because they can bring some good traffic for you

I don’t encourage Directory submission myself not because it’s “dead” but because it’s a waste of time.

Note: Submitting your site to a directory by itself, will never get you penalized by the search engines.

The reasons why they are a waste of time (beyond what Matt Cutts says):

* It takes time to submit to directories.

* The page where you site will be indexed hardly will ever be crawled.

* Assuming the page would be crawled and mysteriously indexed, the value of the page and the link you would be getting are absolutely of no value to the search engine.

* Do you really expect that somebody has so much time to waste as to browse the page 14 of the sub-sub category of that free directory you submitted your site, and then would be so captivated by your listing as to click on it and bring you traffic?

Even if you managed to get any little bit benefit from it, it would never be worth the time you spend doing it. For the same amount of time, there are countless things more productive you can do to your site that will bring much more rewarding results both in terms or traffic and search engine appreciation.

Wow, some still pay for directories? How sad. Anyhoo, there are far too many decent free ones w/ accepted do follow links even, to be concerned with it.
