Free Directory Submitter
I have not much word today. I’m spending the whole morning before I went to office submitting my website to free web directories using free software called Directory Submitter. This software was offered by Brad Callen and can be downloaded here FOC
This is one of my earliest techniques (I guess everyone know about this technique) to increase back link to my website even though it is only 1 way link. Previously, when I just started joining internet marketing, I did it manually, where I’ll searching for high PR directory, copy and paste my information into the submission form and submit it. It is very tedious task, but since I have no budget to market my website, I have no choice but to do the same task again and again. But nowadays, it is totally different story
How this software works
On the link above, Brad has provided tutorial in video format, how to use this free software. But I would like to give reminding, this software is not run fully automated, but semi-automated is good enough since you still have control on the submission process. The first thing that you must do is to create new project where you will fill in information about your site such as title, URL and description. 1 project is for 1 website. You can have as many projects as you want
After done with this step, what you need to do now is choosing which directory you’re interested (I started with high PR) to start the submission process. Select the correct category and this software will automatically fill in the information required into the submission form based on the information that you have filled in earlier in the project. Finally, click submit button. It takes less than 30 second to submit to 1 directory. Basically what you need to do after create the project is just choosing the right directory and category matched with your website, that’s all.
Standard (free) and Gold version.
I’m currently using standard version which has 350 directories inside. But I plan to upgrade to Gold version for USD97 if the result is encouraging. Gold version has over 2,200 (wow) directories inside. I highly recommend this software especially for newbie who has limited or no budget to market their website. Go get it now. Happy trying
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 load with many more features and loads more directories.
Thanks
Tom
That certainly looks like a useful tool and one I would like to use, but if it’s free, what are they getting out of it?
Don
Tom, you’re correct, this tool it is not perfect, but it is free for the standard version. Your tool might greater than this (I haven’t look at it), you might want to offer standard version like what Brad did
Don:This is indeed useful tool. I have experienced submitting my website one by one and doing link exchanges before, this tool at least cut your effort by half. This tool has Gold Version which cost USD97. This might sound expensive (for me), but for those who have tried the standard version and satisfy with the service, surely they won’t hesitate upgrading to paid version which has a lot more directories
Hi Zaki,
I am trying to increase backlinks to my site but do not have the time to manually submit my sites to the various directories. Perhaps I will try this out. Thanks for the recommendation!
Hi Cybergal,
Thanks for you visit too
No problem
hello zaki, is it still available and reliable to use? would u mind to share your personal experience using this tool?
I’m not sure if it still available. But it came in handy since it is running on semi-automated mode. The outcome, I can’t say if it success, but it is better than submitting it manually
Hm..i think better i hire someone to submit my blog manually, what do you think?
Well… I’d like to see some software that brings information about really active directories. Am not saying that these applications are useless, but when it comes to activity of directories, they (applications) may become useless. Why submit sites into dead directories?
I just hate the fact that someone starts a directory, keeps moderating it for a week or two and then gives it up.
Personally I prefer Googling for directories… they have some common patterns (usually)
