The only use of directory submissions nowadays is to build backlinks. However, due to the spam Google has stopped giving value to most of the general web directories.

Search engine optimization (SEO) has started turning submission to directories and articles to its advantage. You could have an excellent website, and you may have the latest e-commerce technology and the best graphic design work. Now comes the tricky part: choosing an SEO firm. There's a long list of SEO firms claiming that they can do submission to directories, link building and article submission, but does a chocolate website really need to build links to an oil merchant directory?

Only additional links, but not so many as you can't submit many good articles at once

Directory submission and link exchange both are very effective and fast visibility in search engine.

Directory submission is considered as effective link building method. Directories submission is done to get permanent, relevant and one-way link building. Submit the website on these directories. Build links naturally and gradually with manual submissions.

To increase the number of back-links as it gets importance while being counted by Google and other leading search engines and helps in fast indexing the site in the database of search engines and gaining good rankings as well.
