Auto-submission Software

Does anybody use it? If so, which?

Hiya Patrick,
Whilst it might seem tempting to create 10,000 back links a day ( more back links means better SERPS right ? - Nope ) this will not help you rank up in fact it will do the opposite and is more likely to have you removed from Google's results all together.
A long time ago you could get away with loads and loads of links however times have changed a lot so maybe you saw that it was a good idea - it is no longer so. The best way to get on-top of search results is to create good content and good content means good links. All though this take more time it will give you far better results.
You can find many good tips & tricks around here as to how to create good content that may get you good links. Please don't use an automated submitter (as seen by the horror above!)
Good luck!

I am amazed that this is actually being considered.
this way is dead. this way does not work. this way will get the opposite results.

Do not do this to your website or your clients! Just Don't! You will ruin their sites!

No. No, NO, no, no, no, no, NOOOOOO, No, no!
Unless you want to get penalised, then, yes!

If you're referring to submitting links to directories via auto submission.
That is a very bad idea. You do not want a software program deciding rather not your website is going into what could possibly be a very bad directory or website creating a bad link pointing to your website.
To answer your question for myself no I would never use an automatic link submitter. I believe you will hear the same thing for many people here.
I hope this helps,
Thomas

Creating Local Listings for Small Business Clients - Verifying if phone call is only verification option? Are directory submission services worth it?
I'm relatively new to local SEO --- I do a lot of local websites for small businesses (restaurants, bars, hotels, attorneys, dentists) in my area and thought it would make sense to include basic local SEO work with my websites. I have a couple of questions about adding my client's businesses to local business directories... I've started by adding each business to Google, Bing, and Yahoo business listings. I verified these listings with the postcard option which my clients then email to me. I've started adding them to additional directories but have found that many local directories require a phone call to the business to verify it (no other options). How do most SEO companies handle this? Do I ask them to forward their phone to mine for a night? Does it make sense to do local directory submission by hand? I created a spreadsheet for each company and keep track of each directory I submit to (the directory name, verification status, and username & password). I looked at services like Yext but doubt they are as thorough as doing it by hand? Any other advice on local business directory submission would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.

Would you keep Paid Directory Submissions a part of your SEO Strategy?
We've been debating this. We've had some budget allocated to quality paid directory listings. We read that SEOMOZ analyzed some 2685 directories, 20% of which were banned from Google. So our question is, should we keep paid directory submissions with keyword rich anchor texts as a part of your SEO strategy or should we drop it. Thanks!

Directory submission after Google panda update
I am very much concerned about directory submission after Google panda update. I have few questions in this regard 1- Should I submit the home page URL or deep links in directories? What is better practice? 2- Can I submit more than one link in one directory? What are the consequences of submitting both (home page and deep link) in same directory? 3- Should I start directory submission aggressively or I need to take care about the quantity? Regards

Directory Submission for 5 month old website
Hey guys. I recently started doing a directory submission program for new website. Right now I am submitting to 20 directories per day, as well as social bookmarking around 10 blog posts per day. I noticed a small drop in our Google rankings since doing this. Is this because it is too much? Or is it just Google re-adjusting itself to cope with the changes. As ever, really appriciate the help I get off the guys on here. Big love to you all 🙂

Can someone give me criteria with which to judge the quality of submission directories.
The general advice is the SEOmoz community is not to bother with low quality submission directories. Makes sense to me as there existence seems solely to manipulate search rankings, which google doesn't like. So what are some clear and actionable criteria to distinguish between a directory worth spending time on and one that is not worth spending time on?
