7 Reasons Why General Directories is a thing of Past.
Seven Reasons why you can safely ignore general directory submission
1. Majority of the population has switched to Search. No one is going to a directory site looking for information, unless it is a niche business directory like import, export operators or some business specific directory.
2. General directories do not drive any traffic, for the same reason as #1.
3. Submitting for SEO Reasons ? Even if the home page and a few categories page have some page rank, the specific page, which you fall into may not have any page rank
4. The directory is not crawled fully by any search engine, considering the number of pages.
5. General Directories serve no purpose except for a little revenue for the operator on sponsored ads.
6. Previous generation FFA sites[Free for all links], have turned into directories. They serve no purpose.
7. Google has recently reduced the page rank for many general directories, some have fallen from six to three. Just to undermine the artificial link juice they pass, while serving no purpose.

thanks for the good information. I am also agreeing with the point that do not submit your site in directories and do not reciprocate with the directories. Submit in the relevant and good directory like dmoz, yahoo .
