Review and comments of Submit2Please.com Submission Services

Review and comments of Submit2Please.com Submission Services

I'm a reseller for the submission services. Since you can go to their site directly and bypass my reselling the services, I have nothing to gain by this post. As this service gains more satisfied customers it will not be hard to find those that have used it and will be willing to tell others about it.

We are also resellers for 1ps.biz. They to provide hand submissions to a smaller list for much less money. While I think 1ps.biz is worth the money, I don't think the two services compare, either in quality of the work done, or the extensiveness of they lists they use.

We also offer a free submission list that you can use to submit your site. I have suggested to Submit2Please that they make their list public, since those of you that want to do the submissions yourself are not going to pay them or anyone else anyway, but that is their decision.

We have just completed our 3rd submission project (500 directories) with them and I can tell you they provide what they say. They do submit to a few sites that were not appropriate for us, and they do submit to some places that may not be worth the trouble. We also asked them on one occasion to NOT submit to DMOZ for us, since we prefer to take care of that ourselves. This seems to be a fairly new service and some of their staff is still learning all of the things you need to know about submissions. If you use their service, you should set up an email address and monitor the submission replies you get and let them know if a site seems really bad, requires payment, or requires return links when you are not willing to provide them. They have been VERY responsive to all of my requests and (many) suggestions.

I'm sure some critics will say that most of the sites they submit to are not worth the time/money, but I disagree. Even if a site is small and their link is not "direct", they may send you some traffic over time. And if these small sites don't get submissions, they may not grow and survive. Help these sites with a listing and they may help you with some return traffic.

Sure, you can submit your site yourself, but if you just use our list and submit to about 200 places, I think you will find that it takes several days to a week to get through them all. You have to fill out the form, but also read the "rules" to make sure your listing has a chance to be accepted. Take it from me, I have submitted about 100 site over the past few years and it takes me about 24 hours on average.

To wind up this post, anyone may contact me for more information and questions. I do highly recommend that you do some keyword research and optimize your site first, but the optimization really does not play a part in directory submission. What it will do is help you to write the best optimized description for your directory listings.
