Why manual submission is better than submit software?

    I have been using both manual service and buying some software to submit my site. However, I would really like to know why people prefer manual? or why manual is better than software? also people who would like to cheer software can post your opinion as well. ^^

    If you are talking about automated software where you just enter your details click a button and wait, then it's a waste of time as most directories have image verification to prevent this.

    This is one of the main reason why people prefer manual.

    However there is software out there which semi automates the process, filling out the form etc and you just need to complete the image verification. I know a lot of submitters are moving towards this type of software.

    Software submission is a good solution. Semi-autmatic directory submission is the perfect solution. Why?

    1. you comply with the directories TOS
    2. you get automatic filling of your urls, description
    3. rotating anchor texts and descriptions
    4. automatic category choose
    5. you can keep track of your submissions
    6. updated database

    Just check a video demo with such a submission done and tell me is not easier then manual submission.

    Personally I use RoboForm Pro version. I use it for my regular form filling on web as well as site submitting to directories. It is so helpful comparing with other semi-automatic site submitters. The only thing is you need to find the directory list to submit your sites.

    I can always tell the automated submissions as my directory has a non-standard, but required field. The automated submissions have put keywords, extended descriptions, or even a repeat of the description there. All of those submissions are deleted. One brianiac put n/a - yeah that got him far; at least it gave me a giggle as I hit the delete button on that one. That extra field is what makes my directory different from the other craft directories; leave it blank or put something obviously not relevant - bye bye.

    As to more reasons why manual is better; I'll ask a few questions...

    If a directory allows deep links, how's your automated or semi-automated tool going to know that?

    If a directory allows keywords or mandates site titles - again, how's your tool going to see that?

    If a directory has Rob's deep-link mod or something similar - how's the tool going to handle that one?

    Does the automated tool look to see if the directory owner is maintaining the directory by keeping the listings in each category topical?

    Has the directory owner created a spammers paradise allowing for keyword stuffed descriptions and titles?



    Manual takes longer, but I'll take quality over quantity any day.

    Can't agree with you more!:cool: I wanted to keep my new directory free for all and just earn little by way of featured & sponsored links. But as soon as I received 15 submissions in less than 5 mins from same IP-- I had to switch to Payment mode to stop those.
    I deleted all those sites quicker than they were submitted:D Now I have to charge something --however less- just to stop automated submissions.:( I wish I had your defense technique:p

    hmm. But if it's semi-automated the people who run the semi-automated software have already seen whether or not it is suitable.

    You don't distinguish whether you'd like people to type everything out by hand, when there's no point, or use semi-automated software which does the same job.

    It's rather sadistic and power freakish (IMO) to want people to type out, by hand, things that can do exactly the same job to save time and let's not forget errors occur with constant repetition of typing the same thing.

    Directories aren't that important in the wider scheme of things bar a handful. If owners want to make it as hard as possible to attract new business then that's there perogative but decline is the only way forward for the market as a whole.

    getting the plugi for Firefox called inFormEnter is the quickest way to MANUALLY build links and works just as fast as any automated software
