Hi Friends, I just wanted to know, many of the times i have listened about free submission softwares, through we can submit articles, directories, social bookmarking, etc. But little bit confused whether it is a good S.E.O(Search Engine Optimization) tactics to get back links. I mean it's not against the law of the search engines.
for directory submissions it is good, because most of the directories take some time to get approved.
Yes. Free tools and resources will not affect your seo and marketing at anyway. Most of the online marketers using only free resources.
I prefer to manual directory submission and social bookmarking but if you have not much time for it. Then you can use software. However, it is not as beneficial as manual because you will not be familiar with your category choosed by software.
If you're talking about submitting your sites to link farms it is "against the law". Google can reduce the page rank if the site is listed on sites with more than a couple dozen external links.
