Basically I have a few sites that I would like to develop some backlinks for, but neither have the time nor interest to manually submit them to hundreds of directories for each site. So I was wondering are there any reputable directory submission services out there that are relatively cost effective? I have found a couple but they look a little shady, and I was more wondering if there were some major services out there that webmasters often use? Thanks in advance.
You can check out our Manual Directory Submission Services. and i would recommend you to first check the clients feedback rather than myself saying anything. You have a option of submitting upto 10 different Titles and Description which will be rotated. Check this out - http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=78294&page=4
You can try this manual directory service. Prices range from $10-$45, and up to 350 directory submissions. If you don't like the service, you get your money back.
