    I haven't found one that I actually liked. With hand submission so cheap these days (and the fact they offer varying anchors and keywords) I go down that road every time.

    yes there is a free one there.
    http://www.submithelper.com

    However, please don't try it now... As we are making changes to it now. Please allow 2 weeks time for some improvement before you try it.

    I tried submitters, wasted my time.
    So went to paid submitters, find a few good ones here in DP.
    Got better results faster.

    Perrow and Tuning are two that I would consider the best. I have used both of them with great communication and results.

    Although I hear Amit is starting one (Haven't used it, just saw it today ;) )

    Those programs are a waste, if you want quality links you have to spend quality time submitting to receive them! :)

    I think submitting to directories yourself is a better idea, then paying for someone or some software to do it.

    Once you sumbit your site to one directory, and then you go to the next directory, it gets pretty fast to submit, as you usually only have to click on the fields and choose what is there from the last time you submitted to a directory.

    You money is better spent elsewhere in attempts to gain traffic, like advertising.

    Would certainly agree with this concept. Even if you have disbled the auto remember feature copy and paste is just as easy. Plus you have a history of directories you have submitted your website too in your cache and makes it easier to identify so you don't spend time resubmitting to a directory you have already submitted too :) Spent 4 hrs yesterday submitting my sons website to quite a few directories and look forward too many more hrs of manual submission ;)

    Did you see their rates ? It's like $15 for 100 directories. That's pocket change.

    The time i'd spend submitting to directories, I can design a client's website or something more productive that will bring in more money than if I saved the $15 and spent an hour or two submitting to directories. :)

    And you said use the money to advertising - well what do you think submittting to directories basically is? It's building your link popularity as well as advertising. :)

    How much do they vary the anchor text ? Can they create everything from scratch, or do you need to guide them ?

    You can provide up to 3 different submissions. You make them up yourself - create the anchor text, description, and landing page.

    They basically just spend the time submitting your submission info that you provide them.

    They haven't gotten back to me though! :rolleyes:

    I've never paid...my girlfriend has sat down for an hour and submitted my site by hand to three hundred directories. It's brought me traffic and was well worth the time she spent. (It would still be worth it if I'd done it...)

    If you want to submit to the directories yourself, the tool at my site can really help.
    http://www.articletrader.com/directories/

    I really believe submitting to directories are still worth it, I mean where else will you get so many targeted backlinks for essentially free..
