You would often hear this discussion going on in every webmaster forum. Is directory submission really dead? Directories may not be the best method but they still work, there are just a number of things you should remember when getting links from directories. Its always better to do some homework before starting your directory submission.

1. Check whether the directory you are going to submit, has been indexed already in major search engines at least in Big G.

2. Instead of going for thousands of general directories, go for your own industry related Niches.

3. As well as regional directories can be the best place to build links.

4. Don't select the directories over page rank. Many low PR directories will drive more traffic than high PR directories. Do not obsess over page rank. I know many of you wont agree with me in this point. :)

5. Look on forums for new directories announced. Digital point forums is my favorite. It have a section where people advertise their directories. Often the directories are sometimes not the best of quality, but the one good thing is fast approval; the webmasters of these sites are usually very active in accepting new submissions. Some times for limited period they do accept free submissions under paid category too.

6. Make sure to include the keywords you are trying to target in your anchor text, but do not make them spammy. Do not use the same description and anchor text for every link. Try to change it around a bit and target different keywords.

7. Always aim for one way links and avoid paying for links.

8. Avoid submitting in directories that accept submissions thro' automated scripts.

My final word on this would be, don't rely on directory submission alone. It should only be part of a broader link development strategy.
