directory submission software vs manually??

i've seen guys say that they can send my website to 1000 directory in one day
are they using directory submission software or they do it manually
and if they use software how the resolve captcha ...
i'm thinking to buy a software to do that job instead of doing that by my self it's very time consuming...
cheers

 

Personally I like to do this MANUALLY. You'd get better exposure and have better luck with 10 manually submissions then you will with 1000 crappy ones.

I'd not trust doing it automatically since the automated systems are not going to be able to get your site listed correctly 100% of the time. What may seem time consuming is worth it in the end. Again, you can save time and have 1% of the listings working, or spend some extra time, do it yourself and manually list the entries. Again, 10 good listings will get you a lot more mileage than 1000 mediocre ones.

 

I use SubmitEaze. I bought it just for use on my own submissions and it cuts down my submission time dramatically plus is helps me to keep track of all my submissions and approvals plus a bunch of other stuff. As far as manual Vs automated submission , I don't think there is any difference. Some folks are quick to criticize the use of any kind of manual submission software but if it can save me time that I can use on something else, I'm all for it. There are a few folks that claim they will not accept websites that use any kind of automated system to submitted to their directories. My question is, how do you know if someone submitted a website manually, filling the fields in character by character or if they used some program that filled all the fields in with a mouse click? Sure, you are always going to have spammers that try to game the system but that doesn't make the software itself bad. I don't care if someone is using some kind of auto/semi-auto system to submit to my directories as long as they are getting it done correctly.

 

There are lots of ways

deathbycaptcha is one service

 

I've read that manual submission is more reliable and relevant than the automated ones.

 

Because I've yet to see an automated system that can figure out how to select a listing type and payment and them complete payment. To the best of my knowledge the bulk of the automated systems are submitting to a select group of FREE instant approval directories that all use the same directory software.

Of course I could be mistaken in that assertion.

 

I use to submit my website to 5 web directories each day. No software formula.

 

I would suggest you to do this Job manually. Submission software not provide you good result... Submit your website information manually... also don't forget to choose the relevant categories for your website.

 

You are correct, I don't know of any system that is completely autonomous that can simply be turned on and forgotten although there may be some that try, albeit unsuccessfully . Every auto/semi-auto system that I have ever used requires some kind of manual input/intervention. The point I am trying to make is, if used correctly, there is no difference what so ever in a 100% manual submission and an automated submission. Tools like I mentioned are used to increase productivity and that's the reason I use them and I think that's what the OP was asking about. To me the assertion that if I use SubmitEaze or some other similar utility to submit my websites to a directory somehow makes my submissions inferior to sites that were manually submitted is absurd.

 

i think manualy submission is the best option i'm doing that now by sending my site to 20 directories each day using autofill forms addon for firefox and it takes about 30 minutes a day but i cant trust a software or even any paid service that promise to submit my website for a few bux

 

I would really love to know the answer to your question too. But, I think manually is better. Remember, if you want something done right then you do it yourself.

 

it will be time consuming but there's no other reliable option .... automated submission nor hiring someone to do it for you

 

There are services out there which offer captcha bypass...Most of them may be using software but software isn't the best in my opinion..

Semi-Automatic seams to be the quickest and most accurate way to submit them without doing it one-by-one in my personal opinion.

 

It's better to do it manually so that you can check the quality of the sites. Some automated directory submission software has porn sites on their lists which is bad for link building.

 

Yes i agree to those people who likes to do directory submissions manually.There are many benefits of doing it manually,we can check PR and quality of sites by doing it manually.And we get rid of porn sites which may harm our websites coz of wrong techniques of link building.

 

I would always to d this manually. Some time ago I have tested some auto submission tools and this is not worth not even a single dollar. As it just places some random links to some random dead directories. 1 good link with description and content in good directory is 100 times better than thousands of dead dir links.

 

Directories aren't as good for SEO as they used to be. But with that said, definitely go the manual route. It will take you longer but you'll get better results.

 

i also tried to test one of those and i found out that most directory links are dead

 

The problem with the automated system is the lack of attention that is given to the submission process.

Auto submitting to 1000 directories is typical of why SEOs get it so badly wrong in directory submissions and why they often find themselves penalised in Google.

Post penguin this is an even bigger concern because the algorithm looks for patterns of exact match anchors.

Submissions should always be done manually (using form filler software is still manual), and unique titles and descriptions should be used when submitting, and shouldn't be overly keyword stuffed.

If you fill in a whole bunch of fields, press a button on a piece of software and then it goes an auto-submits you to god-knows-what-URLs, what exactly do you expect to happen?

Directory submission is considered low value, because it is done poorly, even by big name SEOs (some of them are the absolute worst at it). Don't be spammy, don't cut corners, don't do it half a55ed and don't use automatic software.

If you want to get a good result from directory submissions, then do the damn things properly. It sure would cut down on the number of whinge threads that appear on this forum from people who've had bad results after submitting to 1000-10000 crap directories. SHEESH!

 

thank you you're response was very detailed and informative i use form filler and it works fine
and i have visited your blog so i guess that you're expert in that field and your info is based on experience
directory submission is kinda boring but i have to take that route to get better results
