Yes, SEO is still effective but not much. When Penguin update was released, many SEO webmasters left the directory submission activity in their off page task. As all you know that directory submission gives you many backlinks. So it is not dead completely. If you will do white hat SEO then you can get benefit from directories.

Tips for Directory Submission:
1) Submit your website link in the most trusted high quality and high PR directory site.
2) Do not use reciprocal link.
3) Avoid paid links.
4) Check Domain authority (DA) and Alexa rank of a directory submission website.
5) Avoid spammy directory submission websites.
6) Write unique content in description while submitting your link to directory.

In recent years, Directory Submissions have taken on low priority, when compared to other SEO techniques. Backlinks are always very important and essential for websites to rank well, but always count on the quality of the links than the number.

SEO experts always think twice on directory submissions after the many Google updates as they are thought to be spammy but when done safely.
