One of the things that this blog is full of is directories. I’ve listed a lot of them in the past, and you can find them all here: Directories. What I don’t usually talk about though is how easy it can be to submit to those directories. So here is a post about the directory submitter by Sliq.

I must say that is a pretty sliq…I mean slick logo. Sliq is a semi-automatic directory submitter software. Pretty much every directory submitting software is “semi-automatic”. You basically preload all your info, the software takes you to the directory submission page, fills in all it can, and you are pretty much set to go. Just hit submit, or fill in any blanks and submit.

Sliq offers a free trial version, but it’s only $10 for the full license. Cheap. The hard part is submitting. Even with a killer software package like this, you still need to do some work, but websites don’t market themselves you know. Sliq just makes it so you can submit to 300 directories in a day vs 300 in a month doing it manually. Think it’s worth the $10? Maybe after trying it the hard way you will.

Cool little tip at the end when looking for directory submission software. They often come preloaded with a bunch of directories. Until today, the most I ever saw was 300. Sliq has a cool 1,000 preloaded so have some fun!

So if you read my last post, SEO Services, you may have realized that optimizing a site for search engines isn’t neccessarily about fixing the actual site, and that it can really be heavily influenced just by having a ton of other sites linking to you. Those are quality sites of course.

Graffias Network is a site designed to help you get those links, and is even used by SEO specialists for link building. One of the ways they improve your backlinks is by directory submission. This is something you could do yourself, but it takes a long time, and costs more. They charge only $5 per link (with some conditions), and if you look at the list of where they submit, many of those sites charge much more doing it yourself. Besides directory submissions they also have a network of blogs where they write posts about your sites, create content for you, and various other blog tasks that can help spread the work, and improve the quality of your site.

Graffias Network does offer web services as well. It is more of marketing a site in general, but sometimes in optimizing you need a little webmaster help as well. They offer: web design, coding, web development, and several promotional services. The Graffias Network is a relatively new network, as of 2008, but they have been in the business since 2001. In 2004 they experienced a rapid expansion of sites and services,  which has become the large network they are now. Take the time to dig around, and check it out.
