Best directory submittal program? Or at least a comprehensive list of non-spammy directories somewhere?

[TheEspresseo]

There's a ton of directories. Has anyone had success with a program that will take your info for a site and submit it to all of them at once? Bonus points if you can vary the anchor text and description.

Paid or free.

And whether there is anything like that, which actually works, I am wondering if there is some relatively authoritative, relatively comprehensive list of non-spammy directories.

Any other directory advice would be awesome!

Thanks!

Loudogg,

I ended up stumbling over a previous moz thread on this where a lot of folks mentioned tools that they've used with success. Here is the original post.

I went through and rounded up the suggestions. After comparing the tools, I came up with the following list:

SubmitEaze

WhiteSpark

Directory Submitter
http://directorysubmitter.imwishlist.com/

Fast Directory Submitter * Most popular

Sick Submitter
http://sickmarketing.com/

IBP
http://www.ibusinesspromoter.com/submission/site-submission-tools.htm

Webceo
http://www.webceo.com/

Most of these tools have semi-automated versions of their app which allow you to pick and choose from the directories available. This will help filter through spammy/non-related directories.

Just don't go too crazy Spam filters will be triggered if too many directory backlinks pop-up at once.

Hey-

I have not used this site before but heard good things about it. It's affordable, but the directories are not super high quality. PR 4 or so. I think they have different tiers for better directories. This isn't auto submission, it's simply a service that submits manually for you. Also, they vary the anchor text I think up to 10 times I think?

For awesome directories - I always submit my client's site to Best of The Web, Business.com, and the Yahoo Directory. They have similar guidelines to Google so they are very well trusted.

Hope this helps!

Perfect; thanks!

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
