With these directories really does matter?

Some directories may not give traffic at all. It really depends on their popularity level and how many people actually go to them. Popular ones would be like yahoo, dmoz... etc. Most people submit to the small directories for PR enhancements.

Any idea?

First is directories does really matters in PR and traffic at the same time, as long as it was a quality directory site. Every time your link clicked by the visitors of that site.. that was considered as traffic..

directory submissions will sure helpful for your site's traffics and PR due to increament in backlinks numbers.

Back links will increase.If we submit low PR directory then PR of our site really affected or not.

No,it will effect not effect your site ranking. If you want really traffic you must also involve in social bookmarking sites and participate in forums. Directories are used for building backlinks which leads to higher search engine ranking,but not increase in traffic

What you want to say?

Traffic from directories are minimal,though majority of directory traffic are targeted. Directory links does not have much weight but submitting to a lot of them it will add up...

add your site to free general directory
Add Dmoz
Exchange Link ..

General traffic from General directories is never targeted.

Categories are for websites to be found - not to target promotion for the sites included in them

Non-specialist directories deliver low to zero traffic, the market is flooded with them and they aren't built for traffic delivery nor to service searchers. they have one goal - money!

if you want oodles of traffic, then submit to specialist sites, engines and portal type websites. but its takes work to find them and there's no other option really. If you expecting 100's of visitors from a general directory you will be disappointed bcos the owners don't have that in mind. You may get some pr value, but who trusts websites built on that crap. Ultimately you may get some serp benefit, but not traffic, you want traffic then use related websites, they are the key and always have been since the word marketing was invented.
