The most hardest link to get is the most fruitful one. So I might say that, I agree with your thoughts in here.

But, still, there are few good directories. (DMOZ, BOTW etc.)

I got the same results with my test. I handpick the directories I submit to and it seems to work for low competition terms. It’s a bit tedious but I now got a database of quality directories (or at least I think they are) and I can just choose one whenever I need a boost.

It’s interesting, after I wrote this post I attended both Search Engine Strategies San Jose and the SEOMOZ Seattle event. I don’t remember which conference it was, but a panel of the top SEOs were discussing this topic of directory submission services. They seem to agree that sites will not get penalized for using these services, but it may be a matter of time before the search engines decide to crack down on it.

I personally tested these services on a couple sites, and there was absolutely no benefit from using them.

It’s important not to confuse this with the submitting your website to highly regarded directories (like Yahoo, Best of The Web and some of the top free directories).

Well, do not agree this. I have submited more than 1000 sites to directories and I know the impact of the directory submission. 3 years ago, you could get nr.1 from few millions by submiting your site to 1000 directories. Now it’s not possible anymore, but you don’t get penalized by Google. First of all I submit my sites to up to 2000 directories, but none of them requires you a backlink or a link to other site. So, none of them practice triangular linking. Also, each web directory has its own moderator, and you won’t have your site accepted in 700 directories simultaneusly. Anyway, who’s submiting his site to all the directories? I submit to only 200 directories per week. Finnaly, Google do not penalize your site for many low pr links. It is 100% natural to have more low pr links than high pr links. best regars

Well if you read this post, we don’t recommend doing this. It’s best to submit to the top search engines and some of the top trusted directories. We will do a post soon of some of these top directories to submit to.

Whats you aim in getting listed in all these directories. If its to get higher in the search engines…believe me, that is very unlikely to work….the search engines are much more sophisticated these days.
