Automatic multi submission can be even harmful, manual is pretty useful.
First of all pay attention to directory quality. It should have the same theme as your website, it should be moderated and have no spam outbound links. Check if it is present in search results.
So if you personally think the directory is trustfull use it. Here your own experience is best friend

I agree with you. It is the correct directory submission is not effective these days. Directory submission is also a waste of time. But if you're doing manual submission with quality of work like unique content and local high pr site, so they are beneficial, but it takes some time. ;)

One more thing
Try to use high pr sites.
Do submission in different ip's
Do submission manual with unique content.

Basically u are right, but not in every case. Moreover smth makes me think good results are due to other seo parametres
Say your website - i'll see your indexed backlinks

Directory links do help with SEO but, as with anything, there are good directories and there are bad directories.

If the directory is nothing but a directory, that is, it doesn't contain any more content, then it is not a good directory. Try to get yourself included in directories that are a part of a bigger site that draw people interested in what you do.

For example, if you are a coffee shop, find the websites that have a directory of coffee shops but that are actually about something else. It might be a blog about your city that keeps a list of businesses for their readers, or a site about living green and supporting local business. Directory submissions are good, IF you're submitting to good quality directories. See:

i did not use directory submissions because it take very long time to approve and sometimes won't.
i only use some directories like dmoz...
