Social bookmarking and directory submission are ok. Directory submission work well. However, it takes much time to see the result of directory submission. It depends how much fee is. Moreover, you can use backlink with high PR.

It really depends on your situation. A very specific reply to your question as you have asked (IMHO) for it would be - Social Bookmarking.

Make sure you do not bookmark your own sites. If done by others from different IP addresses, it will be most effective.

As for directory submissions, the most powerful directories on the web that have some influence on your rankings are all paid ones and expensive. If you are looking at free directory submissions, it will be good to have a backlink profile from various domains but how much they will affect your rankings depends on the niche and other related factors.

If I had to choose one for the purpose of indexing, it's got to be social bookmarking.

Web Directories can take weeks to approve your submissions!

You don't want to hear this but, the answer is BOTH.

Both of them are the bases of a natural (and solid) process of indexation in the eyes of search engines.

Now the twist:

A friend of mine decided to do for himself all the manual work of "SEO". Guess what? He spent months doing (manual) directory submissions for his online shop. He didn't do a single social bookmark. Not one.

But his site ranks pretty high for a lot of keywords. Probably it's just a regional thing (Portugal) but fact is: just using world directories + local SE's submissions made the trick for his site.

Just food for thought.

I would personally go for Social Bookmarking. It seems directories are out of date, I never even heard of them before I was doing internet marketing.

Social bookmarks will also give you some traffic. And if you get some really unique and high quality content you can get a lot of traffic. If your content is truly exceptional.

Why can't / won't you do both?

If you're just looking to get indexed, I'd say go with social bookmarking on the big sites (digg, stumpleupon, delicious, etc) as well as possibly some links from big social media sites (facebook). This will get the spiders on your site as quickly as anything else.

However, if you're looking to get ranked and have good SEO, then that is a totally different ball game, and unless you're going after a KW that has virtually no real competition, then you'd better add a lot more tools to the mix.

The question should probably be quality social bookmarking service versus a quality directory submission service.

I'd choose the directory submission over s. bookmarks just because I've seen faster results with them. But they can both work great if you do it right.

To get more backlinks, you must do social bookmarking because in social bookmarking both home page and inner page are cached by a Google but in directory submission, only home page is cached.

do none of those...directories dont count hardly nowadays and social bookmarkings are not strong links..you need more trusted links and from sites that have real value in google...anyone can get those social bookmark links so the value is therefore not so high. Google knows ppl abuse it which is why the links are weak..you need more robust seo strategies..

Social Bookmarking for two reason, although there are not much social bookmarking sites which are do follow, mean lesser in number as compare to directories, but still their link count more as directories link is very very deep if it is free, so focusing on directories is not of any use. 2nd Social bookmarking sites helps in getting good traffic, especially if you have a good social network, you can utilize it in bookmarking for voting.

Both are good for linkbuilding. If you want links fast then you have to use social bookmarking instead of directory submission. Social bookmarking takes some days time but directory submission takes more time to accept site.
Social bookmarking is best to index your site in big G fast instead of directory submission.

Both methods are important if you want to diversify your link building campaign, since you can't put all your eggs in one basket. But, I think directory submission is better than social bookmarking submission. Because the link that you get from social bookmarking tend to be no-follow.
