Directory Submission Services - Are They Worth It?

[rhyswynne]

Hi,

About half an hour or so every night is spent doing directory submissions. I try and make it manual as possible but it is quite a laborious process.

I've noticed a few "directory submission services", who - for a small fee - would submit your site to a number of directories, depending on how much you pay them.

Couple of questions:

1) Are they worth it?
2) What should I look out for for a good directory submitter?

I would say yes, it is worth it. The rates are quite low

I would check the directory submitters itrader or rep if you find someone advertising their services on forums.

It depends, somehow I think a high percentage of the users offering these services don't hold their promises, "guaranteed 1000 manual submissions for 10$" familiar with those titles?

1000 manual submissions could take days, be realistic.

I share Meti's views as well, only use a sumitter on personal recommendation, I have used about 3 in the past, I will not recommend any of them

it is good for indexing deep pages. very low seo quality. if you can get it free, take as much you can. It is not harm your site.

100% manual directory submissions is a laborious process as you said. There are not many people offering this service and being 100% honest as many of them use a semi-automatic tool to do it.

I would never use a Directory Submission Service. They are not worth it.

Just submit your site to some free UK directories, Google, Yahoo, MSN and Ask.
