I am very confused about directory submission so many peoples says that disrectory sitll working and so many peoples
say directory has dead Is Directory Submission Still Effective SEO Technique
Now directory submission as compare to backlinks have taken on low priority. To improve rankings when a new Penguin update is released, sites that have taken action to remove bad links.
I wouldn't dare to say that directory submission is dead. Yes it is not as much effective as it was years ago but still few niche relevant directories can get you quality backlinks and decent traffic some times.
Directory submissions is only used for back link not for keywords ranking.
Directory submission has nothing to do with SEO and this is an old way of method in which has low effect on your conversion compared to paid ads in Google.
In my point of view It is not too much effective now a days except like dmoz directory.
Yes, Directory submission is still it is working but it taking more time to approval. If Paid means it will take less time for approval.
Yes, Directory Submission is Still Effective as SEO Technique yet make sure that you will submit in a proper category or subcategory to get quality backlinks & good traffic.
