All the submission activities like article submission, directory submission ,product directory submission etc etc ...Does all this add to the increase in the site's page rank.

Give me your thoughts with valid reasons.

Short answer: submissions can help, but only when they build real, editorial value — not when they’re done at scale just to “get PR.” Public Toolbar PageRank is no longer a useful metric, and Google treats links as one of many ranking signals (so quality, relevance and intent matter far more than raw counts). (searchengineland.com)

Different submission types behave differently. Niche, moderator-reviewed directories or a genuine guest post on a topical site can earn an editorial link and referral traffic. By contrast, mass article-directory dumps, syndicated articles with keyword-stuffed anchors, or scaled paid placements are exactly the behaviors Google calls out as link schemes and will be discounted or may trigger manual/algorithmic actions. Treat large-scale submissions with caution. (developers.google.com)

Practical checklist before submitting (use this as a filter):

  • Is the target site topically relevant and editorially curated?
  • Does the link appear in editorial content (not in a footer widget or comments)?
  • Is the content unique and useful to that site’s audience?
  • Will the placement send real referral visitors, or only a link for search engines?
  • Is anchor text natural (brand or descriptive) rather than keyword-stuffed?
  • Is the campaign scaled or one-off and relationship-based?

Measure impact by watching referral traffic and new referring domains in Search Console and Analytics; use the Disavow tool only as a last resort for harmful links and follow Google’s guidance on qualifying paid/sponsored/UGC links. (developers.google.com)

In short: , think quality over quantity. is right that links can help; and are right to stress quality — but avoid scaled submission tactics that look like link-building campaigns. Focus submissions where they add real user value and measurable traffic; that’s what will move rankings sustainably. (developers.google.com)

Every little bit helps. PR is not the be all and end all of ranking. Some sites with zero PR rank better than sites with PR1+. There are many parameters to ranking and Links is one. Links can be from Article Submission, Directory Submission, Blog posting and commenting, Forum posting and commenting, Social Bookmarking, Press Releases, Link Exchange, in fact any way you can think of to get a back link.

Submission is very important in PR but they should be of high quality. Website mentioned by the 1st reply has a lot of high quality backlinks.

Yes, it does really matters. But make sure it's worth submitting for. :)
