Directory Submitter software vs manual directory submission - learn the benefits of semi-automated Directory Submitter tool
Here is what a Directory Submitter software will do for you - or better - what the software these days does for me and my Cyberspace Ashram. If the software is good for me as an old publisher, then I guess it also is good for all new web publishers as well.
You'll increase your site popularity in record time - because the software does all much faster than what you would have to do all manually to really succeed. In addition the software developers do the searching for new directories for you - that's an additional time and thus money saving for you!
You'll receive more traffic by having a better position in search engines, like Google, Yahoo and Msn. How much more depends on how much traffic or how excellent / poor your present SERPS and link popularity for your site is. For newbies - i.e. sites having just started the past months or few years the benefit is much greater by % than for my 11 year OLD Cyberspace Ashram ( I started on free hosting April 1997 ). But - I love my own efficiency-mathematics, I love to invest in my own business or work!
A new website may 5 fold or even ten fold its traffic within the first 2-6 months. Hence some 500 to 1000 % more traffic. But most of those newbie sites start with dozens to hundred of unique visitors per day and struggle their way UP to a few hundred UV / day after a year or two. If my vintage site gets by any clean procedure an additional 10-15% traffic increase out of already existing 15'000+ unique visitors/day - that means my additional benefit is 1500 to 2250 unique visitors per day MORE. Hence you may understand why some reviews mention a multiple traffic, while myself I see a small but substantial improve in overall results. I did 11 years exactly what the tool does, just a tiny little less and always at the expense of my fun-time or time OFF in life.For my site such extra investment to get another 10-20% additional traffic certainly is an excellent ROI.
You'll stop wasting time manually submitting to link directories by completely configuring / editing your site/page profiles and then semi automatically fill in all the forms. That autofill in of forms works with almost all listed directories. Only a few apparently use non-default SW or field names - so far only about 2-3%. Hence the time saving is considerable and easily goes into hundreds of hours per year. 100hrs yr at 5$/ hr if you keep on producing what you love to create will bring you 500$ and the saving after deduction of your tool price will be some 400 us$. Myself on my large web site I save MUCH more time and some people out there also EARN much more per hour than the 5$ in above example. Hence the benefits are manifold.
Precise submission with built in status and link verification of submitted URLs as well as ranking verification for Google to change your SERPS and control your success.
You won't have to search for themed websites. Some 2700+ of quality directories are already included in the full submitter 3.0 version. The search of directories alone has cost me quantity of hours in the past and most of the lists I found had plenty of outdated directories or showed wrong, always much too high PR for the listed directories.
Your site will be free of reciprocal links. The directories included in the software require NO backlinks to them. I love that feature because the time for 2 way links - you link to me / I link to you is bad habit of link farming. I link to those sites I truly NEED or love and those who love me or need my services or site link to me. Hence a list of non-reciprocal directories is much more valuable than those old fashioned and mostly outdated reciprocal link directories. BTW some of the world's top directories never asked for backlinks - see DMOZ ( source for Google directory ), Yahoo directory, Jayde, etc.
You'll cut down the number of directory rejections thanks to a continuous update of directory list. Users report within seconds out of the Submitter any broken links to continuously clean up the existing list from broken services and the free directory list update makes sure you always have all new directory URLs in your submission tool.
You don't have to upload anything to your website Everything is done from your desktop. Except if you have the Directory Submitter 3.0 full version as I do and want to use the time saving feature of instant backlink publishing on your site by use of the additional - free - ReciprocalScript.
You can submit ALL your sites by using multiple profiles. Multiple profiles assure that for ONE major web site section you create a number of different titles ( anchor texts ), short descriptions and if needed also keywords to assure you have a selection of relevant but different anchor texts pointing to that page. In a huge site such as my Cyberspace Ashram - of course I have several profiles for several major sections, such as the domain start page, wallpapers, eCards, Photo Gallery, Philippines travel information, etc. as well as separate profiles for my foreign language sections. Some of the directories listed allow ONLY ONE URL to be submitted. Thus you always will start with your domain and then move on adding a few additional links depending on your site structure to relevant categories. You will see that in modern world of money making many directories offer faster processing for $ or better listing in the directory or prime location of listing against $. Many directories offer 2 FREE listing versions: Free listing without reciprocal link - that's my preferred listing option - and free listing with reciprocal link. The full Directory Submitter 3.0 comes with a PHP script to instantly add backlinks ON YOUR site to save additional time. Those directories requiring a backlink will instantly ( FIRST ) check the existence of the backlink on YOUR site at a URL defined by you BEFORE accepting your URL submission.
Each link directory in the list in the submitter shows the directories current Google PR - a repeated manual verification by me has shown that these PR values are even correct.
You get FREE lifetime updates to any new versions we release.
You get fresh link directories to submit your website to by simply clicking the Update Directory Button from within the software. You can also report within seconds any broken directory listed by an integrated report tool without email in a most efficient way. I love that feature because it allows the programmer team to always keep the huge list accurate and valid in both ways - to update new directories and to remove broken directories.
You can add/import your own collection of directories to the existing list of quality directories. To find new directories, you may search Internet webmaster forums of your choice and look for newly announced directories. First test new directories and if suitable for your needs, add the your custom list of directories for future semi-automated submission.
So may be you drop what your doing right now and take a short while to read the website or to even download a full demo for free. The demo version has a small number of quality free non-reciprocal link directories starting at PR4. The full version has some 2700 quality directories up to PR7. I first tested the free directory submitter demo version myself but only for some 100 directory submission the first night. After one single night of test usage, I loved it so much that I instantly ordered the full version with some 2700+ directories listed at the full price of 97 US$ - a true bargain compared to the huge time saving and web site promotion advantage the tool offers!
Get your own Directory Submitter tool and see for yourself how much time you save. Myself I'd rather spend some 97$ to save hundreds of hours in submission work during the years of webpublishing work and use that time-saving to create new content.
Keep in mind that there is absolutely no fully automated Directory Submission tool. Submissions to Search Engines can can be made fully automated - but Directories are spam protected using captcha images and normally need to some degree at least manual choices to be made. The Directory Submission software does most of your choices and form fill with your pre-edited profiles for you immediately after loading a directory submit URL page. You can then verify if you love the choices or wish to add / remove text, make adjustments or change the preselected directory category to fully optimize your directory listing for greatest results.
There are manual submission services out there on the web - for various prices - some even cheaper than the URL Submission tool. I would absolutely NEVER in my life trust another person to make the choices only I can do when I am on a directory submit URL page !! If my own site success and thus also the spiritual success of my site visitors depend on submission efficiency or submission accuracy, then I want to make every choice myself. I feel that I your web site is of true value and thus really important to you and to your site visitors, then you too should either to time consuming manual submission - or - chose my time consuming semi-automated submission with full visual / manual control of all data when ever needed.
In the past years I often have made manual submission to directories, but only a few - may a few dozen - at a time because soon I figured out that the online available lists are poorly maintained with lots of non-existing directories or the entire search directories and submit to directories simply was too tiring, too time and thus money consuming. I love people who belief in the quality of their products and offer a demo version. Directory Submitter 3.0 comes in a fully functional 10 days time limited FREE directory submitter demo version. The only difference is the much smaller list of directories. The good news however is that if after a few hours like me or after several days, you chose to switch from the FREE demo version to the full version, you can save/export all already completed submission profiles and submission data from your demo version and import all accumulated data into your full version to continue your submission work on the full range of free directories. The demo version brings you benefits at zero cost and allows you to experience the benefits of semi-automated URL submission before spending any amount.
Warning: Directory Submitter 3.0 working only for English language / ASCII characters
For details on the limited use of Directory Submitter 3.0 please read my recent article on reciprocal link page data loss by Directory Submitter 3.0. If your pages and the directories you submit to are strictly English language and use strictly ASCII character set without any Latin characters such as the many European languages, Eastern European languages or Asian, Central or Southamerican languages - then DS3.0 might be perfect for you. If however you come from outside USA or publish for the global community in any NON-English language, then you should first carefully read and make up your mind before deciding for a particular Submitter tool.
What is definitely valid for Directory Submitter 3.0 may also be valid for many other tools lacking integration of internationalization by proper use of the full UTF8 and Latin character set.
Love and bliss
