Directory submissions

[fleurya]

Hi All,

I am wondering what is the current story with directory submissions.

Are they not good news now? Will they upset the panda?

Should I make directory submissions?

Personally I still use directory submissions and they do have great results but it really depends on what stage your website is at.

For a new site I believe directory submissions are very useful in climbing the initial ranking and getting indexed, however very established sites wont get a lot of benefit from them.

ok, thanks for your help. Do you need to worry about good and bad directories? Or is it a more the merrier approach?

Its just my opinion but directories cant really harm you because a competitiors could just submiut you in them if so.

I usually use the SEOMoz tool bar and only submit to directories that have a decent authority.

Just don't use any mass submitter tools for this, or well research them if you intend too.
