Is directory submission is still effective or not? for off page submission to improve site ranking.

I want to ask you, are you using those directories to find any services or products anymore?

Most of the time those directories are a waste of time to submit and the backlinks from directories have no any value to improve ranking of your website. It is better to not waste your time in submitting 100s of directories.

Yes, Directory submission is effective in 2016 but not that much. You should submit your website in those directories which are related to your Website's niche. Directory must have high Alexa rank or Moz rank or High Domain authority because Pagerank is not exist now. Do Directory submisssion it helps in generate backlinks but not so much that it looks spammy.
