Is this worth doing or even effective? I've been reading that you don't see to much of an effect when using automated  tools. In fact, a few people have said that they've seen better results just filling out a few "Top" directory listings. Love to hear everyone's thoughts!

I would agree. If Google, Bing/Yahoo, and my buddy Blekko can find the site I move one to more specific directories or link building. ( I like Blekko 'cause they rank me higher for my top keywords than the others, so I think they are brilliant - hah)

Directory Maximiser seems pretty good - you can add multiple variations of submission titles and descriptions and there is a list of the directories they submit to on the website.

This service is very cost effective at around £6 per 50 submissions, and you can also pay around £0.01p extra per submission for them to set up an email address and manage the confirmation emails too.

They also have a service called 'Social Maximiser' which is a social bookmarking submission service with a similar pricing structure.

Does anyone have any experience of using this service? A few different people have recommended it to me.

Yeah we trialed Directory Maximiser for our own site and it seemed good and they did what they said they would do.I've also noticed that one of the submitted directories has appeared as one of the best quality in our SEO moz reports.

I'd be interested to hear though from others whether its been effective for them as we're tempted to use them for a client's site.

Just wanted to leave a quick note saying that SEOmoz has upgraded our Link Directory! You can view a post Cyrus wrote with more information about the directory update and link building via directories at http://www.seomoz.org/blog/seo-link-directory-best-practices

Yext's (www.yext.com) PowerListings product is a great tool for businesses that have actual physical locations. Our extensive network and technical integrations with many popular local directories and search engines allow for incredibly quick business listings updates.

"I'd also be careful not to run wild with directory submissions, as Google could pretty easily detect spikes in backlinks from directories." I was always under the impression that directory submissions don't all get accepted in one shot. Each submission gets accepted at a separate time, correct? Some may take days other may take month.

You can always use a bookmarking service such as a Speed Dial app/extension. At Papaly you're able to create a customize directory of all your bookmarks. Hopefully this helps you!
