    Is it worth paying someone to submit a website to hundreds of Free Directories for a rather competitive niche?
    Will it help in the rankings?

    a) That doesn't answer the question, so please don't change the thread topic.
    b) I have hundreds of sites - you expect me to sit here and submit them to hundreds of directories?

    I say yes, absolutely.

    Make sure to use several variations of anchor (Title) text. I also would suggest spreading the submissions out over weeks or months, depending on the number of directories being submitted to.

    don't submit in too many directories at once! 20-30/day would be the best. so if you pay someone to do it, 8 hours/day should be enough for him to submit 100 sites to 20 directories.

    Just pay for it. You can outsource about 500 quality, seo friendly directory submissions for about $60. Living in Britain, my time is worth more than that. $60 in some countries is a lot more. Make sure you find someone who has a good track record and will send you a checkable report of what is done.

    Directory links aren't great, but they are worth doing - it all counts!

    Hi guys, out of 100 free directories submitted to, how many would you expect to be listed in within 1 month

    and within 2 months

    I ask because i did a few manually, myself, and a site i got listed in ODP got 1 listing out of maybe 15 submissions to the free directories,

    There is a recurring problem with free directories that is many of them do not stay around long and the list is endless in these type of sites that come and go the majority of these sites are known in the Directory Market as QBC's

    That is the majority, of course there are some good free Directories

    But realistically the best Directories to submit to are the quality paid ones which are in many instances affordable and worth the payment

    We use many teams of submitters and they provide great service take a look round here on DP and you will find many with good itrade and rep

    Submitting to quality directories will help your rankings and of course you will see your link up across the SE's
