Directory submissions
-
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?

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.

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

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.
