I’ve just been looking at analytics and webmaster tools, specifically at keywords. I’ve compared our 2 shops.
The jewellery site is about 6 months old and the maths site is over a year old.
About a year ago I created pad files and submitted the site using mikes directory submitter.
If I look in AllTheWeb for each site, as you’d expect I have lots link for the maths site and a handful for the jewellery site.
In analytics the traffic is almost identical, the graph never goes beyond 40 visits per day.
So the pad files and directory submissions have givwn me no extra traffic and PR is the same.

It’s quite possible neither of these methods are doing
anything for you now but perhaps they did in the past.
With either of these methods there are no guarantees
they’ll be a big help in the first place – sometimes they
are, sometimes they aren’t. In any case, over time the
benefits fall away.
With PAD submissions, if they are going to help, the
benefits seem to peak between 2 to 3 weeks after the
submission. The benefits then fall away quite steeply
until about week 5 to 6 in my experience. After that
you’re back to square one. Regular submission is the
key – more work unfortunately!
