Ahh the good ol' directory submission services out there. Charging a hundred dollars to submit your link to 100, 200, 250, 300, 350 of the top directory sites around. Directories can be a good way to get your site some one way backlinks but having another company do it can be costly and you might not be aware of what you're getting. If you have the time to submit your site you should do it yourself. If you have the time and you're new to SEO submitting your site to directories is a given.
You can find a lot of cheap directory submission services out there or you can do it yourseslf. When you do it yourself you can submit your site only to directories you see fit.
A great product that Brad Callen just released is Directory Submitter. A piece of software that runs on your desktop that allows you to submit your site to hundreds of directories all from one interface. Directory Submitter has 350 directories in it's list that you can submit to for free. 350 directories is a lot for free. If you want you can upgrade the demo software to submit your site to thousands of directories. Thousands of directories might be pushin it though as that seems like an awful lot of directories to hand submit sites to.
You can use the software for free and submit your site to 350 directories though without having to pay a dime. Great isn't it.
Want your site submitted to those 350 directories without doing it yourself? Outsource it. Ask someone on scriptlance.com or guru.com to hand submit your site to those 350 directories using the software. You might be able to get someone to do it for cheaper then a directory submission service.
HI
I have downloaded it and it is a nice looking submitter but it does lack features… but im sure Brad will add them and make the submitter better..
There are many Directory Submitters on the market now.. and as being one of the first people to release a Directory Submitter back in late 2005 I have to say they do work and save users time..
One thing.. I wish Brad did not call his product the same as ours as it is the first original Directory Submitter which can be found by going to http://www.directorysubmitter.com and it is loaded with many more features and loads more directories.
Thanks
Tom
Wow Tom,
You found this post fast! I never heard about your directory submitter until I saw it a day ago from someone advertising it with adwords. Honestly, I get tired of looking at those long sales pages especially when I’m not ready to buy so I just skipped over it. Looks like you have a very similar product though. I guess “directory submitter” is a common name or else Brad could of called his product “Brads Directory Submitter” or “EZ Directory Submitter” or something along those lines. I guess you would of had to of registered it as a trademark.
Anyway, thanks for the update and good luck with your product.
Very nice product! I may use it later, seems pretty efficient.
Ive used the free version of this awhile back and was a great tool for not Having to pay a thing. I still haven’t seen any results from it yet, but we’ll see.
This is a good tool I have tried it and like it.
I use this most of the time with each website I create. Takes about 4-5 hours in total. Only problem is having to change anchor texts and some of the directories are paid so if you want free you might be better off find a list as well (directorycritic.com) as an example.
