Review of Directory Submitter (formerly Link Directory Submitter)
Does most everything you want in a directory submission
program, from rotating titles and descriptions to submission history reports -- with a couple of pleasant
software surprises. The pricing is reasonable ($67.00) and there are a large number of free
directories included. That said, we've been spoiled by a couple of really nice features on our Top Pick,
SubmitEaze, that are lacking here.
Let's run the details.
Directory Submitter - Getting Started:
From the home page, you can purchase the product immediately via PayPal (it comes with a 30-day money-back
guarantee of satisfaction), or download the free demo. Go with the latter so you can kick the tires and give the
program a good test drive before opening your wallet. For help in downloading and opening the program, there's a
handy video tutorial accessible from the home page. In particular, the one marked "Installing the Link
Directory Submitter for the first time."
The four other video tutorials are certainly worth viewing, especially "The Link Directory Submitter Interface"
and "Adding a Website Profile into the Link Directory Submitter."
Tip: For additional help, access their "Online User Guide,"
accessible via link on their home page.
Link Directory Submitter - Here's What We Really
Like:
- Large list of quality, free directories. At last count, Directory Submitter provides over 5000
website directories (all of these are free directories--no reciprocal link required, no payment
required).
- Each directory is listed by Google PageRank; you can prioritize, sort and submit to the directories
you want.
- Ability to set up multiple title text and description text for each project. The title and
description text then rotates automatically with each directory submission. This helps ensure your link
building looks natural.
- Pleasant Surprise #1: Multi-tabbed browsing lets you run up to 10 browsers simultaneously within the
submitter. As you submit to one directory, others are loading in the additional tabs--increasing the speed
of your submission process.
- Pleasant Surprise #2: Directory crawler searches all directories in the list and identifies the ones
that have approved your website--identifying them as "approved" automatically.
- Add your own directories and customize their configurations.
- Free software and directory updates for life.
- Buy with a 30-day money back guarantee of satisfaction.
Directory Submitter - Here's What We Didn't Like:
- No submission capabilities to article directories.
- No automatic CAPTCHA recognition capabilities.
- No automatic email confirmation utility.
In summary, this bad boy comes with significant
bells and whistles and a substantial directory list. To be honest, this product was only nudged out of
the Top Pick for two reasons. SubmitEaze (our Top Pick) had a greater feature list overall--including CAPTCHA
recognition capabilities and auto email processing--and offered the additional option of submitting your
articles to 1000+ article directories. Plus, we simply liked the SubmitEaze interface a bit better. Admittedly, that's subjective. (Read our
SubmitEaze Review and judge for
yourself.)
Still, we had no trouble placing Directory Submitter near the top of our list of directory submission
software products. With 30 days to try with no risk or obligation, Directory Submitter should be high on
your short list of software candidates.
