Submission to directories, does it make your ranking higher?

[TheSubmitter]

I know this is a newbie question, hence, I posted it here in the newbie section. I have a new site that's going live in a few weeks and I would like to know if submission of my site to directories will help my site have a higher ranking? Anyone can share their valuable inputs will be highly appreciated.

Thank you. :bowdown:

By the looks fo your name you should already know the answers. Most links pointing to your site will be of benefit to rank higher. Directories are a godo starting point, then trying to get industry related links.

Thank you, Bobby. I was actually approving articles for an article submission site. Some of my clients asked if I do directory submissions or article submission as well but I haven't really know anything about these submission sites. I would like to offer those services but I need to study them first before going into something that it so tedious. Reading through several fora helps a lot but not quite enough. Contradictory opinions regarding directory submissions were being said and it is hard to know which is true. I just want to be enlightened and be knowledgeable as much as possible before even offering it. I hope that does not connote anything bad at all. I apologize if I offended anyone with my newbie question. Thank you.
