Directory Submitter
Free Directory Submission For Mac Site Owners
If you have the patience to work through the sequence, the Mac compatible free directory submitter at the IMTalk forums can help you submit to over 2000 web directories in as little as.... well, over 2000 clicks. The only cost for this FireFox and Safari compatible web-browser based SEO tool is registration (and hopefully - participation) at the IMTalk.org Forum - it's one of two free tools they offer to registered forum users.
You simply set up your site's URL, Title, Description and Preferred Primary Category - then work thru the sequence. Some sites you'll have to pull-down on a Category menu to best match the directory's specific structure. Hit submit and it will automagically move onto the next. It works, it's free.
If you have time on your hands, great. But frankly, there's cheap ways to outsource these submissions - and spend your time on more profitable SEO tasks. That's not to say directory listings aren't worth getting. Lately, Social Bookmarking has become so devalued -- that the vast majority of social bookmark efforts won't show up in your backlink counts at all - or stay there for long. Directory submissions seem to have more staying power for the long haul - so they still are an important part of an Apple webmaster's efforts.
The other Apple friendly SEO submission tool at IMTalk SEO Tools is a rather awesome QUICK-INDEXER that can get a new domain indexed FAST! While these are low-grade WHOIS/LOOKUP sites - You might end up with a coupla PR0 backlinks showing up from a select few of these. A free trial version of Market Samurai and it's SEO Competition module can help you ascertain which back-links show up for your sites. This indexing tool is definitely worth a shot while you work on building much higher-quality links elsewhere.
