    Yes, it's a question of perception, specially among those people new to the web or to seo.

    A more detailed report would help for sure, but it'll also cost more. Anyway, I'm taking notes of all suggestions, and plan to launch something new in the near future...

    Alfredo, Initially, I must admit that I knew reporting in such detail should demand a premium!

    I can not envisage anyone providing this level of service for pennies as it involves far more work!

    I am not sure if this post would be of value. As I had some time on my hands, I decided to submit to 100 directories manually, actually 103 and it appears that out of the 103, only less than 20 sent me a reply, I've got some rejections and some said on the website that they will take a couple of months to reply if they wanted to do so.

    The trouble is that the submitter would have control over where the site would be submitted but he does not have control over the directory to get a response or even to have the links accepted.

    I would think the only sure way of getting 100 links accepted would be through link building which would indeed cost a lot more. The cheapest I've seen is $3 a link and even that, I do not get a lot of confirmation.

    Keep up the good work, Alfredo :) You are doing fine.

    Then Pay more :D Honestly, the submitting is only part of the job. ANYTHING in web marketing that is not monitored and timelined is wasted work IMO.
