Uncovered Directory Submission Software Scam

Discussion in 'Directories' started by insom, Mar 28, 2010.

    Well as you all probably know I've been uncovering directories with the same ip's and I was sure that software were doing it to...So I decided to test this theory today.

    What I found is that submiteaze has a list of 1500 directories.
    At least 1000 of those have PR ranking of 0. So when I put through the domains to see if they were unique the results were quite shocking.

    a2dir.info - 93.189.104.200
    a1dir.info - 93.189.104.200
    Code (markup):
    You can see that they are all coming from the same ip ranges.

    Basically that means that all those directories are absolutely worthless.
    Which means I spent $70 to turbo submit to 50-100 directories.
    While the rest of the directories are link farmed and could be costing me google ranking.

    Now I'm not finished, I'm sure submiteaze isn't the only software using fake/spam directories.
    I'm going to test out a few more..

    If you want to test for yourself be my guest.

    I have uncovered another popular software on here at digitalpoint. I can't believe that the software companies are doing this to people...

    Okay next software I'm uncovering is G Lock Fast Directory Submitter.
    It comes with 150 free directories. I'd like to get myself on the pack as its $20 and its probaly filled with duplicates... PM if you have bought this.
    What I have noticed is that the duplicates are usually pagerank 0.
    The result is 1/3 of the links are duplicates.

    Here are some of the results.

    Truthfully, I don't know why anyone would waster their time and money on directory auto-submitters. Is the appeal of getting 200 backlinks instantly? The BLs are garbage. Why spend money on junk? I don't get it. People should instead focus on getting 6 to 20 good directory listings.

    By "good" I mean old, trusted, well known directories and make sure your site gets into the correct category. This will send good signals to G whereas a bunch of garbage links does nothing for you, at all.

    You make an excellent point, submitting to quality directories is the way to go, however very time consuming...

    Anyway its time to uncover more truth..This time I have everyones favourite digixmas, to be honest I wasn't expecting this...
    and I'm not showing you all the results thats because this page would be very long...
    Possibly 75% of the general directories are on the same ip...
    So everyone who is purchasing captcha's is wasting a huge amount of money...

    Or everyone who's buying directory submission are probably using programs like this.
    Like submiteaze the program is automated when using their directory lists.
    Once you have you're own, its semi-manual. (meaning you need to fill out directory, captcha.

    It really helps to do some researching before committing. We've told you guys time and time again that it is not a good idea to use a "submission company" to do the job. We've said to submit to directories which are looked upon and taken cared of, what the submission companies have done is set up hundreds of web directories which it owns and enter-linked one another, but have not submitted it to other sites which it does not owned, thus make it a link farm or null, basically you've wasted your money by not researching the credibility of such companies, greed or ignorance and the only fault lies to those that took a deal which are too good to be real.

    - Ask the submitter what or where it will submit your site to, get a list of sites or directories.
    - Ask for credibility such as if they are a member of this forum, ask them what they're names are, make sure they are active members with a good post count, if they ever scammed you, you could hold them on their promises.
    - Ask them if they will be using an automated software's, but many will lie to you and say they "manually submit".
    If they promise to submit to 5,000 web directories and search engine for $49.99, manually, then it's a lie, because that would be an impossible task to do for such a low price.
    - Ask them what are their version of "quality submissions" are, it seem they like to use those words but never seem to implement it.
    - Ask for a guarantee approval, not submissions. If you're offered 1000's ask for 500 guaranteed approval or make sure they offer a guarantee to quality web directories and not the 500 they own, 'cause any one can offer you 1000's of submissions using an automated software.

    I run a free web directories and let me tell you that I get a lot of submission companies submitting sites and they never get it right, they submit to the wrong categories and often with a blank descriptions and the reason for that is they use a software to do that job which are highly noticeable which always leads to rejections.

    Remember this:

    If they claim they will manually submit to 1000's of search engines and web directories for cheap, then it's automated.

    submitfrog.com is also a scam - not sure if they submit to thousands of same IP dirs or do other stupid tricks, but what they do for sure is take your money and do nothing. :) That's what they did to me and some other confirmed clients of theirs. So, stay away.

    Most of those directories owned by those companies. That's why they're .info domains.

    I am also surprised that the abuse could be so blatant. Whenever you have identical listings on the same IP you have crap. The only good thing is that the crap will disappear in a year.

    These types directories give the directory business a bad reputation.

    LOL, I'm not surprised. I've often submitted thru some of these scam sites, but you have to stop yourself before you click "Submit" and think about it. The majority of your Search Engine traffic should come from Yahoo, MSN and Google. Directories that are worth being listed on "should" require some detailed information about your site. So, these submission sites are useless IMHO - especially when they are at Google - PR0.

    Doesn't surprise me either. Aren't .info's the cheaper domain name extension to purchase. Some might have or own more than 1 directory on the same hosting account or ip. It does seem a little odd to see 20+ all on the same ip with .info and .ar extensions.

    Some how you failed at something and taken in out on web directories, you really shouldn't be bashing a specific industry without proof, how is web directories "useless", provide some factual data for us, because it has been working for me and for many others, why doesn't not work for you?

    I gave you the red.

    Yes, I am (from digiXMAS) reading right now.

    What are you expecting from me? Discuss about your stupid discovery? I don't mean!

    SEO is unclear and every one has his strategy!

    If you have time for "Manual" method, do it manually. This is your business.

    This likes that you prefer walking and never travel by plane to avoid air crash (I admit that walking is good for health :D ).

    For information, we don't own any directory in the tool's directory list! So, don't call us scam!

    BTW, I gave you a Red!
