Can you still use directory submissions for SEO? According to searchenginejournal.com, While links are still one of the top-ranking signals, Google no longer views all links equally.

According to Moz research, web directories and local citations still appear to be a small ranking factor, especially for local businesses.

Directories have not helped rankings in ages. The only directories worth submitting to these days are highly specialized directories that have their own source of traffic and can send you traffic. They sure won't help your search engine rankings.

Of course, you will still see ebooks, directory scripts, courses etc all claiming directories still work. If you want to waste your money, go for it.

Bottom line: Directories have not helped with search engine rankings in many years.
