    do submit a new site to? and do you do them all in one day or spread out submitting over a period of time?

    Cheers

    I'd wait until the site has been cached at least, then submit away. Links too fast can not only get you penalized (if they look unnatural), but also keep you from getting indexed to start with. Happened to me once, had to file a reinclusion request to get the site indexed.

    Well u can submit your website to as many directory as u want, I add the company's website to all new directory I find.
    In the beginning I was creating lists and then submitting to these, I was submitting like 100/day max .. manually :)
    By now we've been submitting to more than a thousand directories

    really, ive just used a semi-automatic submitter (submit_helper - very good actually) but it still takes quite a long time. I submitted to 20 and i thought that was a lot!

    What are the real benefits of submitting though apart from pr (which is a contention in itself!), i dont seem to get much traffic from these directories (even the big ones).

    Me too haven't seen any traffic from Directories, for traffic articles seems to be best

    I was thinking - i dont think it would matter about spreading out submission because it takes between 24hrs and 6 weeks to actually get listed anyway.

    Peace out
