Depends on the directory you are submitting to. Think human approved submissions. All the auto approve directories will not do any good at all.

Most of the free web directories are full of junk. You have to find out the high PR and human edited web directories to submit your site. However, Most of them are now paid. So, you have to pay for your submission.

One of the main benefits of directory submission is highly quality back links. ... So online visibility is one of the important benefits of directory submission. There is yet another benefit in directory submission. When you submit your website to directories, they will get indexed in the search engines.

Directories are an obsolete technology. My advice would be to not waste energy on being listed with them. They have gone they way of webrings and Alexa rank--none of that matters. Focus on non-membership search SEO, especially Google.

I agree with Russ, it doesn't have any benefits or just a waste of time to do directory submission at this time. Google and other search engines like quality backlinks than backlinks from directories.

There are few human-edited / premium directories are there and mostly those are paid. You need to buy it for instant approval.

In terms of benefits - It will add some weightage and helps in ranking slightly.

if you list your websites on paid directory submission sites then only you will get more benefit because free directory submission sites contains maximum no. of free accounts that will not help you for your website ranking.

As Directory Submission is one of the most affordable technique in SEO, it povides good opportunity for business promotion. If done well and effectively it will benefit your business to rank your business on search engines. But in recent years, this technique has taken a low priority compared to other techniques. Just make sure to submit your website to relevant and hidh DA directories. This can avoid your website being spammy.

It might have a minimal effect on your traffic.

It has either no effect, or negative effect on SEO.

Probably best if not used.

I have tried the directory submission but mostly the free submission with high DA are still in Pending. So if the submission is not visible publicly then it is not beneficial to do.
