Some very good advice especially the form filling tools they save a lot of time. One tool i use is this one http://www.mystikmedia.com/web_directory_form_filler.htm
it has an added advantage other the others as it also stores your deeplinks and is a simple tool to set up and use.
It’s a great article and very useful for me. I never use to note down the Submissions and after reading this article i realized how worthy it is to make a record.
@Marketing Blog:
Generally automated tools for directories submission are not working well and all are proved fail.
I have mentioned those tools are not automated those are manually tools. So it is useful for directories submission work
Nice tips, just don’t go overboard out there. Lots of companies offer packages with 1,000 submissions but this can be more of a curse. Last think you want is abnormal link acquisition, and getting a penalty
Thanks Gunjan for the awesome article..^^..your articles are always informative and helpful…keep it up!
Please tell me one thing which one is better for promotion, Mozilla Firefox or IE
@Pushkar:
If you want to do submission quickly at that time Firefox is very useful.
