Directory submission has long been a standard SEO practice. There are thousands of free directories out there to submit to and each provides a link back to your website. However, Google is starting to de-index many of these free directories. When Google tweaks its algorithm, it is attempting to think more and more like a human Internet user. Do people actually visit these free directories to find information? Probably not. Submitting a site to a free directory helps create a diverse link portfolio, but Google certainly isn’t weighing these links heavily. Does that mean that directory submission is no longer worthwhile? Not completely. The key is just to submit to the right directories.
