I wasnt very much aware of usefuleness in submitting domains to web directories. But after reading the article submitting to web directories is worthy.

Hey ItsSri, thanks for that. Yeah I checked out the site, looking good – and yes, the domain name is very fitting to the bookmarking service you’re going to offer. Keep us posted on the site’s development progress. I left you a comment in regards to the appraisals etc. Congrats on that too.

Hi,

Yes, web directories are useful if the right one’s are chosen. I used one software (free version) recently which had a list of around 500 free directories. It was semi-automatic, like you said, in the sense that it automatically moved to the next directory and filled out the forms – you just have to watch and see that everything is falling in the right place and occasionally you have to type in a captcha. And, while doing this I made some observations about directories and your article confirms those obs. Well written!

ItsSri

PS: Did I tell you, I am putting up a bookmarking site called “LinkCite”
( http://www.LinkCite.com ) and Demonised.com will have a permanent link there in my personal favorites. What do you think about this domain name? Please drop me a line.

I do believe web directory are really useful and agree that will consume lot of times. More useful is submit to more higher Page Rank web directory. Hope you could provide us with some of that which is free.

Hi Wolvie, thanks for your comment. It can take a bit of time, you’re right… but there is software out there to speed things up. NOT the fully automated scripts, but software which is kinda semi-automatic at directory submissions.

I’ll write another follow up article to this and list some useful resources – software, links, PR directories etc. Watch this space!

i personally run a network of 8-10 directories and i am still getting daily 50+ submissions non-stop on my free ones, which supports your articles that people still submit to directories

Thanks for very interesting article. I have been a fan of free web directories because they are very easy way to build up backlinks in no time. However I have observed that Google give less weight to backlinks from web directories.
