Directory Submissions Are Not Much Use Anymore
So how about directory submissions? Do they have much value in SEO as they used to? Well, the answer to that is no. There is still some value in them SEO Blog but again not as much as in the old days of SEO. I generally like to tell clients that any type of link that is easy to obtain if generally worth less in terms of SEO performance. Article submission sotftware has been created to essentially mass spam as many directories as possible in the hope of getting a link back to your website. A lot of time the actual directories will just accept any links that are submitted to them just to make their databases look bigger. If you can find nich specific directories these will be more beneficial but in terms of SEO will still not give much of a performance boost. Directory submissions may be good to generate traffic though via referrrals.
