Most "auto" directory submitters are semi-auto. This means they will list lots of directories for you, then auto sign you up, sign you in and fill out the forms. They do exist and can cut down time spending for directory submitting. Remmember that setting up your submitter, adding and removing directories and signing up for the directories can take a long time.
I have tried a few different types of software to do this and they have all been rubbish. My advice is to do it manually, atleast you know it's done then. To be honest though, you might ask yourself is it really worth submitting to any? If you are on google, yahoo, bing, ask, then what else do you need? Most of these other sites are only worth submitting to for the one way link back to your site and some aren't even worth that. 99 out of 100 people will search for something using 1 of the 4 i have mentioned and most of them will use google.
Manual submissions with form fillers is what I will recommend. With software you are limited to a fixed set of "easy to spam" directories.
directory submit has really been undervaulued bu Googel and has become a place for sneaky guys to make money even u do that , the traffic is not satisfactory so , will u bother abt the free directory submit software thing??
Do those directory provide valid backlinks? I thought they could provide me some backlinks. My previous experience was that most directories didn't accept my site. lol I hate do backlinking, but I have to.
Why are you submitting to reciprocal dirs. when there are lots of free one way dirs. available For quick and fast approvals always submit your site to fresh directories.
if you will do Manual directory submission then you will more benefit so always you only Manual method..if you use directory submission software then you will not get better result because those type software provide limited directory and with long information forms..so it's my opinion don't use any software...
