I think its just lazy not to do it manually. It can be a time consuming process but so is SEO on the whole.
Very cool tool - thanks for sharing. Will it always be free? If so, are you planning on keeping it up to date (for free)? Does this software actually work? Everything I have downloaded from this company looks very cool, but then turns out to be pretty outdated and much of it does not work (directories, article directories, ranking checkers, etc.).
Thanks. I'll always keep this version free. I made a new release a week or two back and filtered out a load of dead directories. I'll revisit it every couple of months or so.
You'll see in here a recent (lenghty) review for 5 directory submission programs: http://goodle.crmreports.com/2008/10/directory-submission-software-what-best.html I ended up using Submiteaze because it combines both the directory submit and the article submitting.
You should give http://www.digixmas.com a try. You can go paid if you like but I prefer the free version since it does get updated from time to time
