We have just released a new major software product version.

In the past if you wanted visibility you would create a standardized pad file and you would submit it to hundreds of directories or you used web service that would do that for you.
These directories would then serve as first incoming links to your web site.

How about today? I think download directories are pretty much dead?
Do you think this is still good SEO approach today? Are these software download directories useless?

: Should layout be solely based on CSS? Is it a good sign if your website looks like a plaintext file with hyperlinks when the stylesheet is disabled?

Yes, submitting your website is good for SEO. However, doing so will not take effect immediately. It will take quite a bit of time to get the results you want.

I know this because I have done many submissions to articles, directories, search engine. I finally got the good results I was looking for.

Not dead, not as good as in the past. Worths the trouble.

I think script directories and the like are still quite popular, although these days most people are using the extensions on their CMS (Wordpress, Joomla etc) for the majority of "additional functionality".

I have a couple of PHP scripts that I listed on HotScripts.com years ago and to this day I still get a significant amount of traffic from there. So go ahead and spread the word - if your software is fantastic you won't need to do too much self-promotion before others are doing the promoting for you!
