Directory Submission
Directories are site which are made to give backlinks to people. Some directories are free and some are paid. Submitting links to directory is as easy as signing up for new email account at gmail 
But many people ignore it, because they thought directory approval time is endless and they may never approve our sites. But did you ever think the guys behind those directories are just like us, and they are even more good then us. Because they have taken all their time to create directory and giving us opportunity to get full backlinks.
So, just take a little breath and start submitting to directories now, and you can get your link approved if you make happy the directory owner by giving him/her reciprocal link, this will increase your approval time.
Some tips to get your site Approved at directories
1:- Don’t just take it easy , take each and every directory serious and submit full info.
2:- Fill in all the field with good information so that owner will not consider it as spam.
3:- Try to give reciprocal link, this will increase the change of approval to 95%.
4:- Choose the very right category for you site, other wise it may be considered as spam.
5:- Also choose right directories (means related to your niche) other wise your site may be penalized.
6:- Provide valid email.
7:- Use valid keywords, don’t over use.
Some basic reasons why your site isn’t getting approved
Many popular directories don’t usually approve new or little old sites, they only accept sites with some good background. Like if your site is new, they may not approve your link. Or if your site is old but not active they will still not approve. Or your site is old and active but with low quality traffic they will not approve.
So, I would like to say try directory submission at little later stage when your site grown up a little bit.
Benefits
Directory links are long lasting back links with long lasting effects on your rankings. One of the major benefit is that they are free to use, but some high quality directionless are paid but many are free as well.
