Through directory submission we can generate backlinks.But it should be noted that the directories have high PR.
I am yet to see a site ranking well for directory submissions. Show me a single one and I am open to change my views completely.
I have worked on a site name www schooloutlet com. There I have seen the result for first time. keywords ware School Chair, School tables, School chairs etc
Directory submission is really helpful in SEO. it is an important off- page optimization technique. it is really helps to get more more quality back links...
