Doing it manually if you have time is ideal, Title shouldn't be too long, not too many keywords rammed into your submission.

As pipes said you should do it manually. Because using auto submitters will most likely cut out all the good directories because of the captcha feature.

What is the best way to submit so we get more approvels..

[hhheng]

Spend lots of time submitting to thousands of directories manually by yourself will give you the best promotion in SEO.

Many directories have restrictions in title, description and keyword length, email accouts, etc. There are not a fixed value. For example, some directories will require description be more than 1000 characters, while some will require it be less than 200.

What is the mean of more than 1 title in dir submission?

Some directory submitters allow you to use more than one title and/or description. They can then submit different variations. Having all your internal links with the same title would not appear natural from the Search Engines point of view.

make computer / SW assisted manual submission
do submissions strictly yourself
because
there are too many different directories where only the owner of a site is able to make decisions and best choices. no automated submission NOR any outsourced submission ever could make instant best choices and modifications needed for optimized submissions. too many different factors vary from dir to dir.

if you have a large site with various major sections, then have a variety of submission profiles for each major site-subsection ready and prepared to always submit the best matching page/profile to each directory

keep TRACK of your submissions to avoid later multiple submissions and possible ban for spam.

Manual submit is best. Forget submit tools as even if you find one, it will only submit you to 20'000 FFA pages, and you don't want that.

Stick to the main well-known established directories and as many specialised ones you can find. Most charge now anyway, so submit tools will become less and less as the years roll by

Anything of quality wouldn't submit itself for inclusion in a 'tool' anyway, so that gives you some indication of those that do. :)

The discussion drifted from the main point :) Alright everyone.. we agree that manual submission is better than automatic !!

Now to answer samlocalguy's question.

You should use multiple titles and also use multiple descriptions. If you use the same title for all your submissions, it would look like spam to big G anyway :)

Most directories accept title length less than 50 characters and/or less than 10 words. I use maximum 6 words in my submissions.

For example if you want to promote DP forum. You might have following titles: Digital Point Forums, DP Forum, Webmaster Forum etc. etc. Basically you would want to address all your target keywords through these 'more than 1 title' :)

Very usefull info...

SO what would be first step for newbie?

I normally write my titles and descriptions, email address, site owner name and keywords in an excel sheet (makes copying easier).

Next to find a good directory list.. There are couple of them:

http://www.directorycritic.com/
http://www.vmoptions.com/directory-list.php
http://info.vilesilencer.com/
http://www.directoryrate.com/free-directory-list.php
http://addurl.nu

There are other lists too but these 5 are my favorites :). Now you can download the list and 'remove duplicates' or submit from there itself.

PM me if you need a sample excel etc. :)

SO what would be first step for newbie?

1. Ensure your idea is amazing (if not, scrub it and start again)

2. If you are pretty confident the business idea is good, then arrange a meeting with a proper PR agency, who will advise on best media coverage.

3. Don't bother promoting online if the press aren't interested - it won't be successful.

You cannot just plonk a site on the web and expect instant success, it doesn't work that way and is a very slow process indeed. It takes years just to prepare a website for official launch.

Hope this helps :)

Very helpfull info
more info will be appreciated

It really depends what your time is worth and what value you think it adds to your project.

If your not making much cash from your site, I would submit manually until your earning enough cash to reinvest in your venture. Then hire someone.

[netx]

If you really look for quality, then you will need to do it yourself. There are plenty web directories today, it's not anymore like 2-4 years ago when you could count on fingers... Now it's also not good to have "many" as really "many" of them are MFA or worse, there are lot of "new" webmasters that they don't know how to sort good from bad websites and for the joy that they have a little traffic on their directory they approve all the junk is submitted on their new directories.
Having your site among junk webistes in many poor quality directories will affect your PR for sure!
Now that you got an idea feel free to follow your instinct, of course I'm not 100% true, I might be very wrong actually but this is what I have done in the last 12 months and worked very well for me.

Good luck!

Spot on observation, and something few directory operators take into consideration. It just shows the sheer desperation many have for links, they have to get that 'next link' , never mind where it is, or what it's placed in.

I take great pride in never associating myself with such services - and am sure my clients watch where my company is listing itself. I bet that's something many don't consider either.

Shocking, just crazy. :)

Where I will get best dir list?

[alexthe1]

The best way, is the safest way so get a big list and subscribe to them manually.

Look at my signature.

[hans]

if you search this forum's past threads - then you find far more than 7000 directories published
import them into a directory software to check for existing pages ( 404 check ) and update the PR of all directories.
then make your manual choices which ones to submit to.

[thetrafficteam1]

Manually is the best way to do directory submission. If you submit your site into appropriate category then that will be helpful to get your link in the listening s easily.If you want to do directory submission the site requires titles,URL,keywords,owner name,email and description is very attractive then will keep your link in their list.
