RE: A tool to submit websites in directories
I use SubmitEaze, and they just recently upgraded their software to include a captcha solver (since many directories use the same platform). The software is good at getting you into directories - whether those directories actually add any value is up for debate. Generally the directories are mediocre to low quality, so chances are your listings won't get indexed for a long time.
So far, I haven't seen sites get "in trouble" for low quality directory listings. At the same end, I haven't seen sites increase their organic rankings from low quality directories either. There might be a case for using directories for local search, since Google Places generally looks for a citation as opposed to a backlink (and Google Places is all about quantity as opposed to quality. )

Truth be told, I have no credentials. I'm just a web developer that happens to rank decently for a relatively non-competitive keyword. However, this lack of credibility makes this blog post that much more effective. How so? You're more likely to be skeptical of my advice, and s...
