Hi, I've been using Directory Maximizer for some months now & have found them pretty good. As for links all going live over night, this doesn't happen. You can ask DM to spread the submissions over a 5 week period & because these are all free directories, it can take months before they are reviewed & go live. Therefore, the links will appear to build more naturally. Link building is a huge part of success on Google & to build hundreds of links yourself would take many hours (even days). Anything that helps out is good by me!!! But don't rely on this as your only source of links....write articles, submit yourself, get reciprocal links too....its all part of the process, but personally I find services like DM to be very useful )
Yes, we too have realized the need to probably have something on the website that states we're on vacation, however we've observed that it can bring about mixed reactions from customers, where there are a few who actually write in telling us that "we work on vacations as well" which is why we've decided against it... But I would say we're still toying with the idea... In reply to another post... Yes, we do allow you the option to spread your submissions out over a 5 week period... Although, personally I would say that you really don't require to do that since the approval period in directories can take up to 90 days or so, so that should look natural enough... But having said that, in a customer centered business, it's best to offer what the customers prefer, as at the end of the day it's all about them! And yes, I totally agree with the view that DO NOT rely on directory submissions as your only source of links, I will maintain that submitting to directories can definitely help if done consistently for niche and well-targeted terms.
yes maximizer is also costly then other in DP who providing directory submission service. but right now i am using very high quality directory submission service there are many of our DP member using his directory submission service. he is batter for me then directory maximizer. http://www.seofriendlydirectory4u.com/submition.php
All I'd like to say is that, at 14 cents a submission, you're getting complete value for your money with the sort of service we offer... You have Mercedes Benz and you have a Hyundai, both serve the purpose of commuting, however only the Benz owners know the satisfaction of the vehicle they drive... This can go on to a never-ending debate, but the fact that we've been around for almost 3 years and have several thousand satisfied clients, should speak volumes for itself.
I know it's very helpful to all over read this Thread Thanks for sharing all the information here !!!!!!!!!
Further to my earlier message, I thought I’d just highlight a few of the value-added features of our service… In case you’ve submitted to directories in the past on your own or through another submission service, no worries! Just upload the details of the previous submissions made, and our system will filter out the duplicates and only show you the unique directories available for submissions. For those worried about getting too many links too fast, we offer the option to spread out submissions over a 5 week period, at no extra cost. Once you’ve submitted your website, before it goes out to our Data Submitters for submissions, it goes through a quality review process. In this step, one of our Editors checks the submitted details of the client for spelling mistakes, grammatical errors and most importantly to ensure that the submitted site is in line with the guidelines of all the directories on our list, thereby bettering your chance of approval in the directories. All submissions made through our system are stored in our database for life, ensuring that if you come back to use our service even after a year, you will not pay for duplicate submissions. In conclusion, I would like to say that we do not make submissions just for the sake of making submissions. We do it with the intention of making sure everything’s right and that you get the best results out of it. Very simply put, we treat your website like it’s our very own!
