Tutorial on using RoboForm for semi-automatic directory submissions

I've written a tutorial on doing directory submissions using RoboForm to complete the form once you've chosen the most appropriate category. I generally don't believe in 100% automated submissions, and the technique I describe is what I use myself.

There are other tools to help do the form filling, but I prefer RoboForm personally. Hopefully you might find it useful too!

Thank you for sharing!

 

Good work. The one thing I would say is that using might not be a good strategy, although I agree with having a separate email address for directory entries. The only trouble is that the word "directory" is widely used and will tend to attract spam even before you use it to submit to directories, because it's a common word used in email addresses, rather like "info" and "webmaster".

Instead, I would recommend setting up a random email address name, and changing it every 6 months.

 

That's a very good point. However, my spam filter is exceptionally good anyway (Gmail built-in), and I get very few false positives. But I'll remember that tip in future!

Thanks
Dan
