Directory Submitter Gold by Brad Callen | Review

I use four tools in my link building method and each tool helps me get links from a different source or platform thus providing me with a healthy variety of links. The greater the variety the more natural it looks. So on to my review of Directory submitter Gold by Brad Callen.

I have tried a number of directory submitters over the years and this one by Brad Callen is probably the best in my opinion. First of all when discussing directory submitters, those of us who have some experience with this type of software know what the main problem can be. The most irritating problem of all is that the directories change status all the time.

Directories that used to be free are now free only with a reciprocal link or, sometimes they are not free at all anymore. Keeping the database up to date is the biggest issue in my book and I have to say that I have been a bit disappointed with every directory submitter I have ever tried including this one. Having said that I should also add that Brad does in fact try to keep updating the list from time to time. Overall I am satisfied with this aspect of Directory Submitter Gold by Brad Callen.

Other than that I absolutely love this software! It make the directory submission process semi automatic. You first need to load your information and just fill in the blanks. Directory Submitter Gold will ask you for your name, email, website title, url and so forth for each campaign. It will then load this information each time you navigate to a new directory saving you boat loads of time.
You still need to wade your way through the categories at the directories and choose the most relevant one so it isn’t completely automatic unfortunately, but none of them are.

The software’s interface is divided into columns showing you the name, type of directory, whether it is paid or free, the page rank, alexa rank, date last submitted, anchor text used and your description. Again I will remind you that to be completely honest the page rank information is only partially accurate and needs updating a little more often that Brad Callen actually updates it.

But as usual I don’t like to fuss too much over details. The point behind directory submissions is to generate anchored links. By far and large, directory submissions result in nice clean one way do follow links.

Directory links show up very slowly over time so it looks completely natural. In light of that I usually submit my new sites to a few hundred directories as soon as possible. I may even submit to more than that depending on how many links I need to rank competitively in a particular niche. One thing you should be aware of if you haven’t done directory submissions before is that not all of your submission will be approved. The directories can deny your site inclusion for any reason they want. They could dislike your site or find it to be unsuitable in their directory, or they could just be backed up and don’t want any new submissions.

Back to the software. Another important feature that Directory Submitter Gold offers is the ability to enter in multiple titles, keywords and descriptions for each campaign. What ever you enter in for a title will actually be used as your anchor text when your links shows up. So by varying the titles you actually vary the anchor texts. This is important if you want to avoid ‘Google Bombing.’

So the bottom line is that I do recommend Directory Submitter Gold by Brad Callen and I do feel it is the best choice among the directory submitters currently being offered. I do wish that Brad would clean up the list a little more often and update the page rank information but all in all those things do not detract from the overall usefulness of this software.

I still give it two thumbs up.
