Manual Directory Submissions
Your site can be submitted to directories in two major ways – automatically by software or manually by someone.
While automated submission could send your site to thousands of directories, often free of cost, the process suffers from several disabilities. These disabilities result in your site being ignored by almost all the directories to which it is submitted.
Directories do not like automated submissions because of the thousands of junk sites that the submission software dumps on them.
This is particularly clear in the case of directories that require to type a few characters displayed in a graphic. This device is to prevent automated submissions. Software cannot read characters displayed as graphic. So only submissions by humans would ever reach the directory.
Even if the submission software manages to get your site to the directory's attention, it might not meet the several criteria needed for inclusion. For example, the software would not be able to drill down the category structure of specific directories. The standard classification that you give to the software might not be there for a particular directory.
For the reasons indicated above, if you are serious about getting your site listed in directories, you have to do it manually by hand.
It is here that the option of outsourcing your directory submission becomes relevant. Even if it costs a little money, it might be the better option.
There is also the factor of expertise. A specialist focusing on directories is likely to be aware of the best ones to submit to. That person is also less likely to make errors while submitting.
