Any links (assuming they're spiderable) - whether they on a directory or elsewhere - will help you in Google.

Google ranks sites according to a number of factors, and one of these is link popularity (ie. the number, relevancy and quality of links to your site).

altyfc gave you some good advice.
Only thing I would add is look for sites that are related to your site. Related links get better credit.

Directories do really help in terms of getting one way quality links..aside from it's free..you can use your targeted keywords as your anchor texts which will also in return will help in getting a nice position on SERP's...Go for directories with pr...

Directories can help with anchor text and to rank certain key phrases and also provide backlinks. Directory submission is more beneficial for new sites that have no backlinks yet and pages that are trying to rank well for long tail keywords. If you are looking for traffic from directories then stick to niche directories on popular websites those ones may deliver traffic for you.

Well, many directories has free one way link that will help your site to improve SERP.

**Dairyman** · 07-05-2008, 09:10 AM

Yeah. Having many directories pointing a link to your site definitely improves the number of backlinks and in turn the SERP. You will get a boost in PR if the linking directories have a higher PR and relevant to your niche.

Directories are like "slow and steady wins" initially we may not notice there importance but as the links gets some age ..they helps in PR and in serps but as long as they are dofollow

Directory inclusions should be viewed as a long term investment. You don't see any immediate result from them. The more the directory ages and develop, the more users it would have, the more SEO value it would give you. Collectively, submission to quality and well-maintained directories would give you traffic overtime.

**david_john** · 07-22-2008, 04:22 AM

A link is a link. A link from a site or directory (Not from bad neighborhood) helps u in all the time. But getting 1000 free directory links is not worth a single authoritative link from a established related theme site.

And in most directories, no "long term results" either

Given that you have a vested interest in maintaining the myth that real people use directories, it's fairly understandable that you would make this kind of comment, but the fact is that the only real "users" of directories are the ones looking to submit to the directory, or link exchangers looking for more sites to spam.

And of course there is no "SEO" value in a directory, there maybe a minuscule amount of marketing (advertising) value in having a listing, but this would need to be a "full page advert" style listing that was found by search engines, not just a 4 or 5 line entry buried amongst 50 other similar listings.
