The aim of both directory and forum posting is the same (i.e) to achieve targeted traffic. Both provides you quality one-way links which target your niche keywords and helps to improve the search engine ranking.

Purpose of directory submission is completely different from forum posting... and both are very good at their own places.

aarisindia has already given some good advantages of directory submission.

As far as forum posting is concerned, it allows you to participate in the community. Along with pulling traffic , it gives you average quality backlinks.

All the elements have own significance. Directory works as a container of many links with a keyword.

I agree that directory submission is great as compared to forums posting because all forums does not provide the facility of follow links and having many restrictions to counter spamming and misuse of the forum. but directories are different they want to get links in their data base and they have no fear of spamming or misuse of directory services so they easily accept your links.

In terms of backlinks, I would advise to go for as many different sources as are available to get relevant high authority links. It isn't a case of choosing one method or another but of employing them all.

If you're taking advantage of the values from forum links and directories, both are have less value when it comes to search engines. Most of the SEOs today are doing directory and forum posting just to promote their sites and make a good exposure of it.

Directory submission and forum posting have different purposes in SEO. Directory submission helps gain backlinks, increase visibility, and improve search rankings, but its effectiveness has decreased over time. Forum posting allows engagement in discussions, building relationships, driving targeted traffic, and establishing expertise. While forum posting is more interactive and valuable, directory submissions can still be useful for backlinks and online presence. Diversify link building strategies and consider the quality and relevance of directories and forums chosen.
