Directory Submission Service

The following is a paid review and is my complete and honest opinion. If you would like your own paid review on my blog please visit the advertise page.

We all know link building is a very painful task that all webmasters have to go through if they are trying to get their websites to the top of the search engines. It is so boring in fact to do that most people give up on it after a few short months as it takes forever to see results and when your website does not increase fast enough in the rankings, well you know the rest as I am sure we have all thought the same things from time to time.

One of the most pain staking tasks in this industry is submitting your websites to web directories. Directories can give you some decent link love but there are just so many of them in existence that trying to find them all is almost a full time job. Well, it use to be a full time job before the days of Directory Maximizer!

Directory Maximizer is a great manual directory submission service to take advantage of if you

    3. I like Directory Maximizer… i recently promoted it for my visitors, and I got fairly good reviews…. the main complaint is their price vs people in digital point doing the same thing, but they offers more services, and better tracking.

    4. You are right, a paid service would be a way to go. I remember last time when I tried to submit my site onto a web directory it took me over one hour to:
    1. Sign up for an account
    2. Filled the details and wrote a long description
    3. Make a link back to that directory
    4. Remember my account details.

    Heck, the #4 is the hardest one. I already forgot my account details on that directory and even the URL of the directory.

    Thanks for sharing this paid review with us. Keep up the good work and I wish you get your PR5 back soon.

    5. Looks interesting, I have never done a service like this but have always seen them offered on other forums. So it is good to see the review of at least one that you could potentially use. Thanks Collin

    7. Hey, it may be good for some of you folks, but I like having more control over the descriptions being typed into the various directory submit site forms. I also vary the key words, and the anchor text as well, when I get directory listings. I prefer to list in directories that rank their FREE listings by PR….something a Directory Submission service cannot monitor when they’re doing scattershot submissions.

    8. The service is of great interest indeed. I should have a try

    9. I would say screw directories all together apart from DMOZ and Yahoo. Even though I run a few directories myself, people who buy links from me are wasting their money.

    11. Hey Collin,

    I represent Directory Maximizer and would like to begin with thanking for the honest review, we couldn’t have asked for anything more honest. :)

    However, there’s a few clarifications I’d like to make, with your permission…

    There is a minimum order value of $5 (35 submissions), so while you could just order to be submitted to the higher PR directories, you would need to order for a minimum of 35 submissions.

    In reply to the comments:

    Sacramento Weddings – We do offer you the option to vary your titles & descriptions and choose the ratio in which you’d like to distribute them. We also have a list of directories that are sorted by PR & allow you to submit to just those as well.

    Exposed SEO – You are not paying for your links by using our service, we submit to FREE directories, the cost of 14 cents is towards our service charge of making the manual submission.

    Anyway, I will keep it down to just this, if any of you do require any clarifications about our service, please feel free to get in touch with me on kunaldavid [@] maximizer-e-services [.] com

    Thanks & Regards,

    Kunal David

    12. Thats a quote to be remembered by if I ever saw one! :-)

    13. Directory submissions are tedious and difficult to manage. There is definite room for a service such as this, as to have a dedicated staff member sitting and doing these doesn’t make economic sense.

    14. Thats a really good deal :) I’m going to definitely try it out :)
