Today I am trialing a piece of software that provides semi automated submission to online directories, social bookmarking websites and article sites. What’s more this free directory submission is hosted right here on markrushworth.com for you all to try out.
Basically you register with the system (i give you 1000 free credits – 1 credit per domain which i think is more than ample) and you fill in some basic details of your target site. The free directory submission tool then visits each directory in turn and all you need to do is fill in the captcha and appropriate category for submission.
The reason for my trialling this is my annoyance with the paid services out there where there is no control over the quality of directories in a list. Also Google seem to be using ‘low level’ link building techniques like directory submission with great effect (even Rand thinks so).
Give it a try and let me know your thoughts.
Forgot to mention, if you run or manage a directory and want inclusion then please let me know.
This directory submitter has a few pitfalls but works okay for a few cheeky links
- Once you start a new URL, you have to complete all, otherwise it starts you back from the top of the list and you need to ‘skip’ all the directories you already submitted to until you get to where you left off.
- You have to manually confirm each activation link
- Red text on red background for informing you the link already exists, or you need to choose a category is a bit annoying, especially when you’re on autopilot ‘doing-repetitive-task’ mode and you don’t realise you’re trying to submit to the same site 5 times!
Finally, social bookmarking sites don’t seem to work very well :) Still a nifty tool though, especially since free.
Thanks Monica, ill make some tweaks over the next few weeks to see if i can tighten up the system like removing the dead directories and adding in lots of nice new ones.
Hi Mate, I’ve noticed when i’m receiving email confirmation it isnt including the description for the directory submission. Nice tool thought it took me around an hour to do 150 submissions!
Thanks,
Lee
