    There are a few good arguments that would favor manual submission.

    First of all, when your site is submitted by hand, you are better able to follow the inividual submission instructions of each directory and more properly choose a category.

    Next, having your site listed in a thousand directories with the same title and description does not look natural (may look spammy to SE's).

    The last reason I can think of is that if you submit by hand, you will tend to find better quality directories than you would get using automation. The sites that take automated submissions get hit with so many low quality submissions that they loose any value.

    Manual submission is such a time taking but if helps you learn to how the Title and Description must be. That helps in the long term; you learn to verbalize to your projected viewers better.

    As a directory owner the automated submissions software are not consider as the convincing submissions. Mostly directories editor ask webmasters to submit their website manually with appropriate title, keywords and description. Also, in some directories there are such fields that need to be filled manually. If you need assurance of the submission then it is suggested that adopt the manual submission way, it’s always welcomed by search engines and is a preferable method.

    By manually submitting you can be quite specific about the chosen category.

    Also by manually submitting you can see what other types of sites are listed there first, and you can read the guidelines for each directory.

    Manual submission is the only way to guarantee true quality and targeted links. The software or even auto submission services can often times be more about quantity than quality. Also, the random submissions often end up not getting completed as the submission method is either outdated, or some other qualifier in the process is not met.

    Take the time to do manual submissions. There worth it. As to submissions services, there are many that also take the time to do the manual work. When I mentioned "auto submission", I was referring to the automated version there of.

    Many 'good' directories put a lot of effort in ensuring that automated submitters don't work on these directories. This gives editors good enough time to review and approve/reject submissions. Every submission received also gets counted towards traffic scores.

    I will recommend that you take the time out to do submissions manually.

    Manual submission = harder work, thereby giving you better benefits long term :) Moreover, as pipes mentioned, manual submissions help you choose the right category for your site. Getting listed in the wrong category alongside sites that have no connection to yours is not only useless from a promotional point of view but also does it
    make your site "look sp(c)ammy" ...

    However, there are instances of coincidence: if your site is a directory and if you get autolisted under "Online Advertising" instead of "Directories" I do think it could benefit you...but if your directory gets listed under "Makeup and Hairstyle" then...you aint lucky! ;) Now the question is, do you want a freakin software to shape your online destiny? Think twice!

    Manual submitting or semi-manual is time consuming but your success rate will usually be better. Sometimes automatic submissions pick the wrong category or a category that is not even available. They the site owner will just toss out your submission. So really you wasted your time anyway. Manual submitting is time consuming, and there is no guarantee that your submission will be approved either. Some of the directory site administrators can take a very long time to add your listing like weeks even months sometimes for free submissions. I think you will have a better success rate manually, it takes time but you don't have to submit to 100's in one day. Just do a few each day.
