People who quality directory submissions?

I haven't been to Digital Point for a long time. But a while back when I was here there were some folks who charged to do quality directory submissions and I had good results from them. Unfortunately, my PM box has been manually pruned so I don't know how to contact them anymore.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of anyone who is a reputable directory submissions person?

Oh and if this is one of those "no no" topics the moderators can delete this thread and I wont be offended. I don't know all the "dos" and "donts" around here.

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

I'm not sure that there's a sufficient number of web directories that I would submit to that would warrant using the services of someone to do this for me; most of the services operate their own network of crappy directories for the express purpose of providing submission services. I have seen in the past where a network is utilizing the same database so they only need to submit your details once rather than the xxx number of submissions they claim. I will suggest that you use caution as you're not likely to receive what you think you paid for; seems the only manual aspect of these services is them initially entering your details into a program so they can auto submit your sites to whoever/whatever is currently on their list.

 

You're likely better off manually submitting these yourself. Spend the "submission" money on submitting to quality paid directories that do NOT share their Databases and keep a fresh clean and updated quality collection of well categorized sites.

 

Is the above comment spam? I read it 5 times and I am confused as all hell.

The reason above the above comment is real good. Also, the barrier to entry to develop directory content is so much easier, that there are just so many more directories on the internet in general. Some get big real quick, most die off. But it isn't easy to tell, so you post up in as many as possible.

Look for a local service (CL will have some), or people with reviews that are many and recent (within the last year recent).

 

I hear what you guys are saying and I tend to agree with it (that's what my logical side keeps telling me). However, my experience is that (crazy as it sounds) doing some mass directory submissions early on when the website is new seems to really help 6 months down the line. At least that has been my experience.

 

There are a lot of directory submission services at BST, the reputable ones can be distinguished by the number of reviews/iTraders.

 

If you haven't done directory submission for a long time, you will find that Google has greatly devalued any benefit of the vast majority of directories. The "6 month" benefit you experience is likely due to being released from the "sandbox" not the directory submissions.

 

Why not use google to get targeted traffic? you pay for directories subbmisions, what not pay for google too!

 

You mean adsense? I do that as well. I use a wide variety of tools to get traffic to my websites.

 

Well it certainly does not hurt.

Look, anything you do is going to have some type of impact on your site. The whole point of the responses here is that getting your best bang for your buck and time are what's going to be more important. If you want an initial mass boost of submissions from the start, use something like Addme, SubmitExpress, FreeWebSubmission, etc... All great sites for submitting quickly and easily a number of directories and se's.
