can anyone please tell me about directory submission..and hot it is used..is it same as social bookmarking

In directory submission, you should submit your site's details such as

TITLE:
URL:
DESCRIPTION:
NAME:
EMAIL
KEYWORDS:

Just be sure to submit your site to the proper category of the directory. Although it takes time for its approval, it is still worth it because it's free of charge and it can help your site to increase its link popularity.

Whatever you do, always select quality directories only not the one that approves everything that comes into their path.

The directory submission has various fields that need to be filled and that has been mentioned above.But there are a few rules that need to be maintained so that you don't get sandboxed and also you can get maximum benefit
1)Do link submission manually
2)Choose your keywords and description before you start posting
3)Post only to appropriate directories and place where its ur niche not just everywhere
4)Avoid reciprocal links if possible
Hope it helps you
cheers

What about paid listing? Does it harm PR?

Thanks

Google hates paid links and paid directories are in the same list but it will not hurt your PR but you wont get any link juice but you might get some traffic from there .Why not get relevant backlinks from free places and relevant places rather than getting links from there.
