Fisrt thing that a new webmaster sets to do after launching a website is to look for a web directory and submit a site. Even I followed this appraoch when I started with webdevelopment. That was the time when I used to spend long hours on the internet submitting my site to the all possible directories. However, the question is, are these web directories still usefull?
I would take my example here. 28th March 2008 was when I started my website. By July 2008 my site had a PR 3. For sure this was a result of some good SEO and surely I can not deny the share of webdirectories.
I would suggests to web masters that do not just go on a spree of submitting your site into loads of directories. Try getting a directory which has some niche or which is not largely populated. There is a good chance of your link getting accepted, that too quickly. Also there is a chance that you would get a PR juice flowing to your site.
