I started using Roboform to submit to directories. When I did it by hand it took me a long time. I dont have that time cause I still need to work with clients.

You can get the basic software for free

I know this can help.

Do you have a list of the directories that they are getting submitted too? How can I make sure that they are relevant?

I used this website and submitted them all manually. About 15 a day. Almost all of these directories have a real estate section. http://www.addurl.nu

There is a link in my thread with lots of seo friendly directories.

Choose the right category if you're going to submit in a general directory, usually the real estate is a sub category of Business Category.

BBZZZZZZ!!!!


wrong


GOOGLE NO LIKE

Do not submit to directories via software, unless you are going to space it out over time.

you are much better off submiting manually to the most relevent sites

#1 Agent ... fyi...Roboform is not an autosubmit software but rather just saves your info so you do not have to type it in each time you do a manual submittal... The value of these directory links is minimal at best no matter how you submit them

Mass submission systems are blacklisted from most of the major search engines. The best way to get listed is to enter your site into DMOZ.org, they are a non-profit, volunteer run, directory listing site that sells their data to all the major search engines (google, msn, yahoo, etc.). But be keep in mind, it may take a few months to get listed. You could of course, volunteer to help them and they allow you to post your site (as long as you dont spam) faster.

I use InFormEnter in submitting my blog to directories it's a Firefox add-ons https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/673

Google could care less about how you submit to directories. Google tends to not like repetition - if you vary your anchor text and description, the method of submission doesn't matter.

I have had this website for almost a year but I am still waiting on my approval from DMOZ.

I used to be an Editor for DMOZ and I can tell you that if it has not been accepted by now - it will not be. I suggest that you resubmit.

If you are already listed in other categories you most likely will not be accepted. If you place promotional words in your listing you will not be accepted. If you submitted with a title that does not meet the category criteria you will not be accepted. If you submitted to the wrong category you will not be accepted - a kindly editor may move it to the correct category for review there but may just refuse acceptance. I suggest you carefully ready the rules for submission for whatever category you are submitting to.

Never take a step to get listed in DMOZ

May I ask why you recommend not getting listed? Seems as good a place as any for a bit of free promotion if you can get it.

No, I'm not recommending that you should not submit your site to DMOZ it's just that I gave up already before trying to get listed in DMOZ.

Ah, gotcha.

I thought you were giving advice that people should not try to get listed in DMOZ.

i have submitted to them more than once and they seem not to accept my site. i don't use promotions, and i also tried to be an editor and they responded back within like 3 days. i agree if your site isn't listed yet, you need to resubmit. i have heard your site has to be live for at least 2 years before they would consider placing you in their directory.

one question, if accepted in dmoz will that automatically get you accepted in google? i ask because i don't know where to find googles directory.

Thanks for the heads up on those links. I have a couple other places I submit my url to, but it never hurts having more.

Thank you for your advice I will resubmit my listing.

Haha, yeah DMOZ is practically impossible. I've spent hours trying to submit extreme quality sites, and nothing, years later.

@Eric: Yes, Google really does care which directories you submit to, even if the anchor text varies. If you're a large site, it can help you (as in you have about 3000 backlinks or more). Otherwise smaller sites are warned against getting spammy directory links.
