Quality directory submissions

Manual submissions vs Automatic submissions

The aim of directory submission is to create an enhance exposure for a web site, business or a service. Usually the more directories which have been submitted to ends up attracting more visitors due to the enhance exposure to potential visitors.

If a person does not want to go through the time consuming process of submitting their web site into directories themselves, they have two options, one is SEO manual directory submission and the other is automatic directory submission. There are many distinct differences between the two, each with advantages and disadvantages; we will talk more about each one in this article. The person must decide which is best suited to them and/or their service.

Automatic Submission

“Automatic submission” involves downloading a piece of software which will automatically post your web site or service to multiple directories quickly. Alternatively you can pay someone to do this for you; there are many web sites and companies on the internet offering to do this for you at a nominal price.

Advantages:- Automatic directory submission are that it will save the submitter a lot of time compared to manual submission processes and services. Also automatic submission services are much cheaper in comparison to people offering a manual directory submission, especially if you want the added extra of SEO aspects to the submission.

Disadvantages:- Automatic submission services are that they are usually much poorer quality than manual submission; automatically submitted web sites into directories are much less likely to be ranked and indexed. Automatic submission software’s are also very unreliable which can have the end result of many important directories being bypassed. I would especially not pay for an automatic submission software or service.

Manual Submission

“Manual submission” involves visiting every directory one by one and submitting your web site or services manually over and over again. There are many people and companies who will take the hassle of this process away from you and do it on your behalf for a fee.

Advantages:- Manual submission is that the directory entries will be of much higher quality and have a greater result of being accepted and indexed, which in turn will give you a higher quality and number of visitors. Also with manual submission you have much more control over which directories to insert into, therefore you can target any potential niches.

Disadvantages:- Manual directory submission are that it is extremely time consuming; also it can be much more expensive than automatic directory submission.
