Webmasters, how much you will pay for manual submission to 1000 directories?

Discussion in 'Directories' started by hhheng, Feb 1, 2007.

    I started a completely manual directory submission service to 1000 directories with $0.4/directory, and $0.15/directory refund back if your website is not indexed by a directory in 6 month, but looks like all the webmasters think it's expensive.

    So I want to know how much you want to pay the service of manually submitting your website to 1000 directories.

    $0.4 x 1,000 = $400 is a loot of money for this type of service, and forget about the 6 months refund.

    Concur there are many reliable top rated teams here on DP who offer very attractive submission rates

    Sure your service may be good, but you must be competitive with your rates too :)

    No offense to anyone who offers this service, but why do you say that it is manual? I highly doudt that anyone whould have the time to submit a site let along 10 to 15 sites by hand to 1,000 directories. Everyone knows that these companies are using automated programs so why not keep it real and just say "Will submit your site to a 1,000 directories for a one time fee of $$$".

    lol banless, its a coincidence because thats pretty much what I was thinking about you , instead of just thinking, actually said it lol. :) I think that they are indeed using automated programs, and I wonder where do they get them from.

    If you are using automated submissions $10 or less is the fair price :)

    It depends on whether or not you will submit the same url with different titles or always use the same title.

    Nick, $25-50 for 1000 submissions is very cheap and smell automated:) But anyway guys, I personally think that something like $0.1-$0.15 for manual and if person do it right and slowly and will give you report (which that auto spam programs can't generate so you will see some proof) that will be a good deal. Something higher on DP may not got the catch, and lower starting me thinking about "submit" button clickers:)

    I just post it cause many people will see low prices and "WOW, nice deal" and spammer smiles "Yeah, nice deal!". Well at least they find each other:) But it may affect on on other good people.

    And yea, different titles and descriptions. Actually something like 10 and 10 of them will be good.

    trust me when people say manual they are using some type of software because how can they even provide a submission report ?

    alot of the services in the service area says we submit manually to 500 PR 4 directories... and will provide a submission report..

    i dont know if u can submit manually and get a report ..

    geez wat a concept lol...

    i don't trust it anymore...

    PM me, I will send you a submission report done by me 2 days ago. And from the report you can see that my service is completely manual.

    If you do manual submissions to 1,000 for $49 this is probably one of the best deals i have seen at DP. PM the sample report please.

    I would just like to be the *wise ass* of the bunch here and say, that it is totally possible to submit to 1,000 directories and even run a report.

    The steps:

    1. make 1,000 directories and run them off the same DB
    2. enter info.
    3. 1,000 directories complete (bwahahah)
    4. run my little SQL command and write report.

    1,000 submissions at xxx in literally 60 seconds.


    damn, am i in the wrong sector of directories?

    Tbh i have always been rather suspious of such offers and i really only trust myself to submit to directories because then i know that i have done everything correctly.

    So saying you do have a good reputation on DP and have a quality number of posts, its not as though your one of those newbies with 1-25 posts advertising such a service!

    With that all said and done, i might actually take a look and try out your service and see where it gets me on a small PR1 personal blog that i run - so saying your website does only have a PR1, so that does tend to discredit your promotion, although as we all know PR isn't everything and your website/page might be really rather new.

    Again, don't want to blame topic starter but guy recently moves from $0.4 (okay, okay with $0.15 refund if things go bad) to $0.05 per submission. So he decreased his price to 8 times immediately:) lol, am I need to comment something ?

    Please I mean no harm here.--But can't resist the temptation. I have offer my services on other forums and on references because I can not compete with the prices here:( It takes atleast 5-7 mins to submit to a directory manually and so one whole day's work for 100 directories. Ofcourse it is possible to submit to hundreds of directories within a short time with softwares like Submithelper and Directory Dominator but the acceptancy rate in that case is too low. (Article Distributor Software for article submissions).

    So if somebody is genuinely doing the work manually I think $25/100 submissions is really win-win for both side as with that amount the buyer gets more than 80% acceptance.

    I think webmasters should go for quality and not quantity. 500 good directories with PR3+ will do more than 1000 directories with PR4-.

    jhnrang, yes, I am with you here. And it was good year or 1,5 years ago, rates was decent on DP, acceptance rate also, now people fighting for every dollar and don't care about results it seems. All what they want is a "good" deal. In the end submitters get peanuts for their work and clients are not happy at all and blame such services.
