    From what I know, it's harmful for your website to get links from thousands of directories at the same time. My tip to you is to not use any tools that claim to do something automatically for you. Do it on your own instead, and only submit your link to the top 5 directories such as DMOZ and Jayde.

    Your site won't be accepted instantly in all directories and Google won't find all backlinks at once. So it's not that harmful.

    Yeah, zexy's probably right.

    Hey zexy! You seem to be a person that knows pretty much about these kinds of things. Does directory submission help in terms of SEO?

    If you're reasonable enough to not spam with that thing until it's limp, then there really is no worry about getting banned or anything.

    Just use common sense my friend.

    right now there are many competitors in internet marketing. so going by regular route i.e manual submission will only take lot of time and you wont get to do other marketing strategies. So i feel its better to use automated softwares.

    I never had a problem when submitting my articles using a piece of software......

    Some people are fearful when submitting there article to ezine articles.

    when using a piece of software there thinking ezine articles will delete there account.

    I've been doing it for years now and never had a problem with them.

    Automated directory submission tool has not 100% chance to submit all directories.

    In general automatic submissions have worked well for me. Its a big time saver but make sure you use the right tools. I have never heard about the website mentioned by the OP but i doubt its a harmful service.

    Well those who have been using these services for a long time and there website has been accepted and if it got accepted in the directory listing how much time it tool for that and what are those tools they have used or sites.It would be very kind of them to share i know some people would hesitate but i think knowledge increases by spreading it.
