Yes directory submission is very important if you do it in do-follow & high page rank.

According to me directory submission is less important to achieve search engine ranking as well as search engine traffic and also we get results after very long time but I suggest you some other activities which you will diverts huge amount of traffic such as forum posting, blog commenting and creation, guest blog posting and video creation etc. It also helps you to get quality backlinks.

Directory submission is effective techniques for long term result, you can easily get backlink for directory and high pr directories are helping for increasing PR of your website.

Yes, Directory submission is the best way for increasing the page rank and traffics for your website and this technique is still useful for that. It helps to introduce your website in the internet world.

Directory submission will help us to get one way backlinks to our website. But we need to get backlinks form high page rank & do-follow sites will help us more.

Directory submissions help in building the credibility of a website and in SEO. Google is much more likely to rank a website it feels is legitimate and since a lot of directories charge a fee for inclusion, you appear to be a serious business.

Local business directories are also very good to get. I just got my website listed in the Philadelphia Business Journal (http://businessdirectory.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/advertising_and_marketing/3334636/original-press-releases.html) because I'm from Philly. The only thing I had to do is create a page on my website with my address and send them a request.

Yes, it's still important in SEO but not all directory. Just the high quality and high PR directories.

Directory Submission is still important.We can get many backlinks by doing directory submission for our website but the directory websites should be of high pr...I perform directory twice in a month and get really good results with that.

Google and other search engines like high PR quality web directories. If you can get links from directories like Dmoz you will get benefits in getting good keyword/s ranking in SERP.
