    Hello
    I am developing few websites and I want to submit them to hundreds directories?
    I am just wondering if there is automatic software to submit my websites, and if it's considered as spamming or not??
    and how can I be sure that it is manual directory submission?

    Thanks

    Submitting manually is the way to go. It allows you to actually KNOW which directories you are submitting to, you can review their terms individually. It allows you to vary the anchor text and description.

    Plus it's just better. :)

    We have good experience with manual search engine submission and have been doing it since 2002 to a considerable amount of sites.

    Over the past months we have researched the market and compiled the best search engines, directories. (We update our list after every Google update. Last update on 22nd July 07 ). Our low cost operations and vast experience had made us more affordable and preferable over other service providers. We submit websites for as less as .17 $ for a manual submission, which is the best rate in the industry.

    The uniqueness about us is, we supply you with screen shots of each and every submission made. You will receive 120 screenshots of every search engine and directory with the submission form which will have your data which is submitted. The screenshots are the best evidence that we have submitted to each and every search engine and directory.

    With any other company you have to take their words for the submission. They just provide you with a report on a spread sheet or word file saying your site is submitted to so and so search engines on the given dates. We offer you a concrete proof of what we are doing for you and how we are doing it. On top of it we will provide an account which will consist of all your confirmation mails, which you can use it for future reference.

    Also on your request we can do the vile silencer list or any other directories for .19 $ /submission. You can have different set of titles, description as well. For more of our services visit us at submitinme.com

    A few advices:
    Make sure you deviate in your TITLE and DESCRIPTION when signing up on directories. <-- Dont make 200 submissions with the exact same details. You need to think alot about the keywords that is importaint for your site and then use them different on every submission.

    This is easy when manually submitting, but if useing automatic you probably wont have this chance

    I agree with you. Manual submission is the right way.

    should it be the other way? it is easier to have variance in auto submission than in manual submission. variance in manual submission means more chance to have typo. isn't it? Auto submission will not make this kind of error unless the wrong information is inputed.

    This is VERY important - and you would need to do manual submissions to do this. One of my sites was slipping on 1 of my keywords - it was down to about 30 in the SERPS, so I set about doing some directory submissions targetting the keywords and after a couple of weeks it has moved up the SERPS to be 19.

    Your website will never be about 1 keyword - so make sure your directory submissions are not simply a copy/paste of the exact same text - vary it after every few submissions.....

    I cannot see why it should be easier to have variance in auto submissions vs. manual.
    Anyhow, you mention typoes. If you make manual submissions with typoes, it will also benifit you. You will suddently rank for typoes also, which WILL give you more traffic. (many make typoes when searching)
    Ofc your texts shouldnt be one typo after the other, but some rare typoes is not bad for you.
    But the SEO typo industry is a large chapter in it self.

    For the record, when I say manual submissions, I do not fabricate unique text to every signup I make. Rather I have composed 20+ different ways to structure my TITEL and DESCRIPTION. Then random selecting one of my variants. And over time, redo them all to make new uniqueness..
    Its not the funniest work to do, but it works :)

    Manual submissions should have a degree of autonomy involved. Generally firefox plugin/extensions are used, and profiles created so that the information for the site is entered once, and then you never do another keystroke again. This negates the variance factor that has been brought up, since this method would actually reduce the frequeuncy of errors not increase them.

    With FF extensions/plugins you still have to manually navigate to the directory and through its categories to submit. The problem with automated software is that whenever a directory owner sees 100 submissions from the same person sitting in their pending queue they are going to flag the lot as dodgy and delete them. I do it daily. I reckon I remove anywhere from 500-2000 submissions per day that are automated. I don't spend 1 second reviewing the sites. I run a query to highlight them all, then I "check all" and delete the lot from my pending queue.

    Automatic submission can be very effective, but you do have to use some common sense. Like Dan said, you will be flagged if you submit to the same directory over and over again.

    The other thing that really ticks off most directory owners is submitting tons of subdomains or inner pages from the same site. Some directories permit this, but most of them require payment for deep links.

    As far as the typo issue - automatic submission does cut down on typing errors that can lead to auto-rejection. Yes, misspellings in your titles and descriptions may help you, but you don't want to make a mistake typing your URL or email address.
