If you are attempting to submit to the web/niche directory section of our service on 2/18/09, some directories may appear with no categories present.

This is due to some minor technical difficulty we are experiencing, but don’t fret–iEntry‘s IT team is working diligently to restore these services back to you. However, keep trying to submit the various directories that we have to offer.

On behalf of SubmitterBot and iEntry, I would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused.

A few SubmitterBot users have contacted me this week regarding some directories in our submission list that have returned the error of “Please select pricing option.” This error will appear for directories that have been entered into our system as free directories but have recently switched over to paid directories. SubmitterBot does not include paid directories, because all directories that are included in our service are completely free of charge, and submitting your site to the various 480+ directories that SubmitterBot has to offer is of no cost to you.

If any of you continue to see any erroneous directories within our submission list, please let me know immediately via our contact page, and I will promptly remove it from our list.

Also, if you are the directory owner of a free web/niche, article, or social bookmarking directory, and would like to see your directory included in our submission, please feel free to suggest a directory to us for prompt review.

Happy Submitting!

This week, SubmitterBot user ‘paddyoh’ submitted four quality directories for inclusion in our submission list and have provided their details below:

• SaratogaBar.com (PR 0). Categories include: Arts & Humanities, Comedy, Health, News, and Technology.
• SaratogaBand.com (PR 1). Categories include: Bands, Business, Games, Internet, and Real Estate.
• GlensFallsBands.com (PR 0). Categories include: Blogs, Comedy, Musicians, News, and Travel.
• LakeGeorgeBands.com (PR 0). Categories include: Advertising, Attractions, Culture, Home & Garden, and Newspapers.

I would like to pull this week’s discussion from a question from the SubmitterBot Blog regarding article submission. A user’s comment was asking if we publish the same article content in the directories, or if we do them uniquely? From an SEO standpoint, it is not an exact science and is still up for speculation. The way it will work is like backlinks, where the more backlinks you have in a website, the more visibility your website will have in search engines. In this instance, the more verbatim versions of your article that is published in various directories, the more your article’s content visibility will increase in search engines when people are searching for topics that relate to the specific article.

Our service (SubmitterBot) can provide this for you. SubmitterBot currently has 58 article directories to submit to. These directories are free for inclusion through our service, so feel free to submit your article(s) for inclusion in these today!
