It is important to submit every search engine and directories on the web to be seen and ranked. Otherwise visitors to those sites would not be able to see your site.

It can be difficult to get into directories but it has a lot of weight.

It can be very difficult to earn even an entry in directory as humans come, visit your site and give you an entry. They can reject it outright and even if you are taken in you don’t have to earn a good position in the directory.

We remember having submitted to yahoo directory in 1999 and they refused to even list us. That time there was an option to communicate with the person investigating our site for possible entry in the directories.

We communicated, pleaded, raised our points and finally we won a good place and it still remains.

Anyway, understand that directories like yahoo, dmoz are very important and make sure your sites are listed there. You can go to their directories on the web and do a submit.
