Had to share - too funny

    Just got a submission to my craft site directory for someone offering their service to handsubmit sites to directories!

    They totally ignored the fact that I have a niche directory for crafts and not only did they fail to fill out the submission form correctly they also submitted to Root.

    Their title? "Web Directory Submission - Directory Submission - Search Submission - Human"

    From their website, "All Our Submission Are Carried
    Out Manually By Our Qualified
    Submission Personel."

    Would hate to see what their unqualified submission personel do.

    Not to say there aren't good hand submission services, but we still do this ourself and charge a minimum of $100 per month per site. ;)

    Spammers are a pain in the ass but a side from that it says alot about the service they offer, if they can't submit their own site correctly then their service is worthless.

    I have paid a couple of people to submit some of my sites to directories, to later find they submitted me to rubbish directories.

    I do my own submissions now every now & then.

    That is just what amazes me. We can find lots of directory submitters --offering manual directory submissions. Infact these are the qualities they provide.

    So one has to go with established and highly experienced submitters --like Amit, Mr. Kumar and others.:D

    I too provide --but people hardly knows and my charges are painful to webmasters:D who look for cheap services like this.

    Rather than give them an undeserved backlink, I'll just mention the company - Human Submit (their site is their name.com) to hopefully keep anyone from getting less than they pay for.

    Such submissions keep the owner busy ;)

    When it comes to Directory Submission, "You get what you paid for" seems to be so true.

    I do most of it myself or sometime a friend of mine helps me in directory submission. And I know it requires lots of effort to get it done correctly.
