Hello , what is the best way to submit a new site to all the needed engines and directories , by hand or by a service ? Any advice would greatly appreciated. thanks
By hand. Services are unreliable and there aren't that many major search engines and directories so it shouldn't take more then ten minutes to do anyway. (Queue the members saying you don't need to submit your sites....)
For directory submission you may pay to reliable person.. but for SE you dont have to submit your sites Crawlers automatically list your site when they find your site on Any directories or link exchange.
You can check out our Manual Directory Submission Services Also check out the feedback of our clients here Have any query feel free to ask us. Amit HiiFii Webservices.

Try this trafficflowseo.com/2008/03/free-search-engine-submission-links.html i was sent this by Badlands07 and in less than 24 hours i had around 50 robots visit! Obviously some may take weeks before they all index but i am impressed with the progress so far!
Whether it was free or paid services, Doing right services such as white hat methods is the most important one.
By hands or by service? It's simple to choose: if you have money - pay for service, if you have enough time - then do it by yourself. Moreover, doing submission by hand is much more reliable - you just see what you are doing and can definitely predict the result.
