link-submission

We have just released a new major software product version.

In the past if you wanted visibility you would create a standardized pad file and you would submit it to hundreds of directories or you used web service that would do that for you. These directories would then serve as first incoming links to your web site.

How about today? I think download directories are pretty much dead? Do you think this is still good SEO approach today? Are these software download directories useless?
