Automated directory submissions

I've seen things for automated directory submissions, and even manual submissions. I am unsure of their value though. Most (all?) directories are set up into categories. When I use such things as an automated system, is my site being sent to the correct categories, or is it just submitted to the top, and then ignored? I mean, most editors I'm sure are unwilling to move that many sites (assuming such services are used a lot).

Should I skip all of those offers and just do it manually?

Does anyone have experience with such things, and if so, anyone willing to share?

If they are sent to the wrong categories, then the links are unrelated right... So is using automated submissions an effective means of getting relevant backlinks?

Thanks,
Q

 

I will let you know, im having mine submitted now...

 

What do you mean automated directory submissions, do you use any software for that for it will automated submitted..?? Im sori, i am new for directory submission.. PLease you can explain what it is.. Thanks you in return..

 

Let me know the tool.

 

I'm not talking about any specific tool, rather automated submissions in general. You can get a few thousand hits in google for "automated directory submissions" or similar keywords. Though, my questions sill pretty much apply to manual services. Like, if I sign up for such services, will my automotive site be submitted to a wedding directory?

 

Automated submissions are no good

 

yes its nice.. you need to choose a category on that... if your site is for shopping then go to the shopping category.. there are lots of automated submission... even i myself have a list atleast 80 Sites... but im not giving it...

 

i prefer manual submission.
tho, i also want to try the automated one.

 

Manual submision is more quality then auto.

For auto submission i recommend Allsubmitter 4,7 version.

ok I did it I payed someone here on teh forums to auto submit to 150 dirs for $10. Seems pretty good was getting confirm addresses all day. about half required me to click on an auto responder link to verify... that took a while but was well worth it. Im sure dl-ing and installing software and configing it would have taken longer, so all in all a good deal.

 

I prefer manual submission so your website place do the right categories

 

I do not use automated submissions I prefer to use manual submissions risk.

 

Manual submission are always better then automated. It has better quality and makes more sense

 

manual submission is prefered because it will be done with more care

 

Has anyone seen that their directory submissions, actually ranked them higher in Google?

 

No good if it give you TOO MUCH backlinks in short time, but it's so good if normal quatity because it help you save much time to do by hand!

 

What I mine is risk free.

 

Yes. Manual submission is better but automatic submission saves lots of time.
