    My New Directory Submission Tool

    I just finallyyyyy completed this.

    Its still beta...but main functions are still good to go. The upcoming 7 days or so I will constantly be updating the site. As of now theres some few dead links on the main page....but you can sign-up and start submitting away! Read my blog (link is on the footer of dirtracker.com), it will give you a brief submission tip that will allow you to save lots of time.


    The site currently has over 2500 listed directories, sorted out by PR, Paid & Recip, and Free directories. Niche directories soooooooooon to come.


    Any directory owners who wish to add their directory, feel free to do so.

    Alsoooo, I did ask for some directory partners...so those who PMed me before or showed me clear interest, PM AGAIN please!

    Anyways, feedback and comments will greatly be appreciated.

    Cheers

    - no completition of the fields
    - no category selection
    - no auto-complete on nothing
    - just a simple list with directory links

    This is no working system sorry.

    No directory submission tool can automatically select a category for you since theres no standard categories on directory sites.


    Its a simple list alright, but I made it so its laid out in one page and ready for you to keep track of. This list also has 2500+ dirs which has sort options of pr, free, and paid/recip. I know its still a simple list, but theres no other one presented like this on the net.

    I would like to know what you mean by a working system? This can help me build it better if you were to give your ideas on a working system.

    I also took a look at your "Website Submitter" that cost 47 bucks to use. Once I publish my Submission tips, my free site tool will just work as good as yours...hopefully it'll make sense and my tool may be good use to people.

    Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming!
    Cheers.

    http://www.digixmas.com/ this is an example of directory submission software that works. I have to agree that yours is really just a tracking list.

    I definately think there is a growing market for directory submission software, thats why ill hopefully be launching our new directory submission software in a couple of weeks... ours is slightly more unique than your standard application for starters ;)

    That is the tool---it tracks your directory submissions.

    You can download software and have to purchase it OR you can use my site for free, which btw, is laid out like an software application.

    As for "automatically typing in the fields" (address, description, recip url, keywords, etc.) for directory submissions, you can use a plug-in which will automatically insert those fields with just a click (no typing).

    Now I'm wondering what makes a software application that cost around 50 bucks or more much different from mine? I'm guessing mine involves probably an extra 3-4 clicks for each directory being submitted too. And if using RoboForm, it might just be as good as a directory submission software.

    Also , I did notice a similar tracking tool, but this one was not laid out in frames the way I have it...which makes it much easier since your always on one page. The other tool also did not include as many directories as the list I compiled.

    lol, I'll see whats wrong with that. Have about 10 people successfully using it so far.

    I went to digixmas.com and downloaded their tool.

    Some insights:

    Digixmas Semi-Automated directory submitter:
    -Costs money to submit to more then 150 or so sites

    -Directories used on their 150 list alll seem to have the same format (same category name, same directory software)....this means the more chances of you submitting to directories that will be filtered out through duplicate content filters for Google.

    -Saves much more time by having less clicks involved.

    My tool combined with RoboForm or FireFox Plug-in (InFormEnter):
    Free to submit to as many directories (2500+ directory list, niche list soon to come)

    Involves more clicking but still hardly any typing...

    Free of charge

    Do not need to download any applications

    You are totally wrong, Website Submitter does and also Article Submitter.

    Again wrong, Website Submitter has a larger database as yours. Not only Google pr, categories but also:

    - description for each directory
    - type: free, paid,reciprocal, etc
    - category: General,Sport, Arts etc
    - prices if payment is involved
    - etc

    By working system I assume all the features existing now in Website Submitter:

    - allow multiple profiles with tracking and reports (in as many formats as possible)
    - multiple anchor texts, multiple descriptions
    - auto complete for: domain url, email, description, rotating anchor text, rotating descriptions
    - auto choose category combobox if a match with a defined category was found
    - when you submit to directory to have multiple selections and queries

    When we started our application we aimed not to to what other have done but 2 times better. That is why now Article Submitter and Website Submitter have functions not found in any submitter applications.

    I am expecting more from a tool similar to what you developed. A simple html list is nothing. Is just a simple html list. People want more.

    Take a look at these 2 video demos bellow:

    Website Submitter demo and Article Submitter demo .

    I hope I am not too picky on this subject and I hope my remarks will help your grow your product, but still a long way to go.

    The only way a program automatically selects the category for you is for you to choose it off their list.

    The directories your program your talkin about all have the same category tree....that means you can only automatically submit to directories using that same category tree...if not you will have to manually click and choose your own.

    Am I totally wrong still? I would like to know...for example, how would the program distinguish from category "Entertainment > Sports > Football" to "Sports and Recreation > Football"?



    And when I said my list is the only presented list like this on the net is my concept of having a top frame and a bottom frame.

    Top frame, lists the directories sorted out whatever way you like and Bottom Frame will be used to view the directory and submit.

    There is not other site like this concept on the net...which is what I'm talking about.


    What I'm trying to express to webmaters is that YES my site is just a simple list that you can keep track of....BUTTTTT ...if you use RoboForm (free download) and/or take 2 seconds and install a FireFox plug-in.....my site can be used similar to a semi-automated submission tool...that is it'll require very little typing and lots of clicking to submit to hundreds of dirs.

    And I will download those demos now...but when donloading the Digixam demo...I'd have to say that there tool is much more automated...and I'm pretty sure Website Sumbitter is also.

    Also keep the remarks and feedback coming! It definetly helps and opens my mind!

    "My tool combined with RoboForm or FireFox Plug-in (InFormEnter)" - You could say that for any directory list of which there are many.

    Digixmas does work from different trees and it chooses the most appropriate categories through some programming.

    Anyway, saying yours is just as good but you have to make a few extra clicks or type extra information is really silly, that is the whole purpose of an automated or semi-automated tool. If I save 3 clicks per directory or 5 seconds per directory (or whatever) x 150 or 250 or 500 that adds up to lots of time saved.

    Add to that the fact that with your submission list I will have to go to each directory seperately (adds another 5-10 second per directory), 15 seconds x 150 directories = a huge amount of time saved

    Hi here,
    I hate to jump to promotion thread that seems to be our competitor, but as you gave wrong comments about our tool, I would like to make some corrections:
    There is free mode (Truck Mode), that our users can submit their sites to directories without any limit and their can have their OWN directory list. Note that in free mode our tool is better (and faster) than other commencial tools on the market now.
    That is definately WRONG! I have no comment here.
    So for the next time, please don't make such comments about some thing that you are not sure.

    Thanks jg123 very much for nice comments about our tool.

    Once, I'm sorry to jump to your promotion threads.
    Good lucks with your tool.

    I actually used your software to submit to about 5 sites....all of them had the same category tree. Letter by letter, word by word. Then there were a few with different category trees and this would prompt me to choose a different category. And I was totally 100% right that all the directories on your list are run by phpLd. Meaning every directory other the phpLD will not be listable? Am I correct on this...this may be perhaps cuz I only checked 50 sites and those were all on the free list.

    Just to make sure, how exactly do you "ByPass" a directory. I saw that feature. I also wondering how you guys handle reciprocal urls? I didn't see any part where it required me to enter a reciprocal url when using semi-automated mode.

    And I already said, your "semi-automated submission tool" does submit way faster and requires way less time. However if you switch to Manual Submit mode, my site can offer any feature you have as long as you just download the free software RoboForm.

    A question as a programmer....what exactly is your software when its in Manual submission mode?

    Its basically an application (the browser) that has one frame (the list of directories) and then another frame (which displays the directory you choose).

    What exactly is my site? You use your Browser, a top frame of directorys and another frame displaying the directory itself. Again, my site does not have the "automated part" where it already pre-fills the form with your site address, title, description, etc., BUTTT if you were to download RoboForm for free, my site will work just exactly the way you application works in manual submission mode. What would the difference then be?

    And in reply to jg123...I totally understand bro...digixmas semi-automated feature can definetly save more time....to do your calculation 15 seconds for 150 directories is about 37.5 minutes...so for a 1000 directories...those minutes definetly can add up.

    The only downside I see from using their semi-automated feature is that it'll cost money if you wanted a bigger list and that it offers no reciprocal link feature. This is where if you were to use RoboFOrm or the InFormEnter plugin for firefox, it'll fail.

    So perhaps an extra 4 hrs spent for 1000 directories can outweight the price you have to spend and the assurance of having a proper reciprocal link to those directories that require it.

    hey, its okay....i definetly wanted this type of feedback...before i made my application i wasnt sure on what benefits a software has compared to mine.

    i was totally blown away when i tried out your software....the semi-automated submission mode works way better and faster then i expected. however, i still do feel that when your application is in "manual submission mode", then my site can be just as good if users knew about roboform or InFormEnter plug-in.

    when i saw this site below and how several people praised it, i wanted to make a better one.
