Q: Is this submission manual or automatic?
A: While going through the list for the first time manually, each directory and its corresponding field have been programed into the software separately, thus now making it possible to automatically submit to them without any errors like wrong category selection. Furthermore, don’t be fooled by people offering “manual” submissions. MOST of the time these submitters do not submit manually, but will charge you as it was submitted manually.

Q: What is the difference between auto and manual submission?
A: NONE! When you’re submitting to web directories the only thing you’re doing is submitting attributes to their appropriate forms, for example, name into the name field, your website url into the website field and so on. It doesn’t matter whether you do this manually, copy-paste it or automatically and that is a FACT. Machines (read search engines) don’t recognize this and humans neither. The common misconception of manual submission being better than automatic arose because in the past, directory submission software many times couldn’t recognize appropriate forms and so it typed your name in the website title, your title into the url field or it choose a false category, etc. Naturally such mistakes have led into the submissions not being accepted. THAT is not a problem anymore, because in our database each directory has its own saved form and process. The program doesn’t “guess” which form is which but knows exactly in advance because of the preprogramed individual settings. That means it's probably even more reliable than manual submission, since it doesn't involve human error and/or human negligence.

Q: Won’t so many links at the same day hurt my rankings?
A: Absolutely not! Why? First reason is the google index. It takes time for google to discover new links and pages on all these thousands of directories. Second reason is because all these directories have a different link approval process and time periods. While some of these links may get approved the same day, the majority will be evenly spread out through the coming days, weeks and some even months. The links will just keep on coming, thus increasing your natural linking profile.

Q: Will these submissions really increase my SERPs?
A: Yes! Do note the above explanation, it takes time for the directory webmasters to approve your links and further for google to index them, so it would only be wise for you to supplement these submissions with your other SEO strategies to fasten the process. Make no mistake though, ranking depends on your competition and there’s no way you’re gonna rank for tough keywords (ex. health, finance) only with directory submissions.

Q: Any recommendations how to further increase the power of this submission?
A: Use at least 5 different title/anchor variations and 5 different descriptions. Max should be around 15, because you wouldn’t need any more really, but if you want you can have unlimited variations.

Q: What is the acceptance rate?
A: Usually it’s around 80% - 90%. The better quality your website is the more acceptance you can expect. And the more time you took to write proper descriptions and followed the standard directory rules, the better.

Q: I already submitted to some directories, how will you handle that?
A: We will try to maintain the maximum level of submissions, but if you have already submitted to many directories we can not promise that you'll receive the same number of submissions, since we don’t know which directories you submitted to. We will submit to all remaining directories that we possibly can.

Q: What are the PRs for your directories and are these directories on different IPs?
A: PR’s are all mixed. From PR0 to PR7. Directories are mostly from different owners, so they are spread all over the world on different IPs.

Q: How do I maximize the acceptance rate?
A: It’s best if you use the standard rules from dmoz. Keep the description of your site brief (150-250 characters). A well-written, objective description will make listing your site easier.
Do not use any HTML tags
Write in complete sentences and/or descriptive phrases using proper grammar, punctuation and correct spelling.
Do not use ALLCAPS in your description.
Avoid capitalizing every word in a sentence.
Don’t repeat the title of your site in the description.
Avoid using promotional language and strings of key words and search terms. Words and phrases like “cool” and “best darn site” will be removed.

Q: How can I know that my website was really submitted?
A: We will give you a report. By request you can get the login details for the email account that was used during the directory submission and see the confirmation mails.
You can also check google's index by searching for an excerpt of your description(s). You will see the index number growing every day.
