Directory Submissions How much is too much?

For every webmasters, specially rookies and amateurs, Directory submissions is still the easiet way to get links. And people often ask, How much is too much?

Can I submit to hundred directories in a day, 500? 1000?

You would often hear that you can submit to as many directories as you could posible submit, because acceptance wil be staggered.

But this is what I do, and this is what seems to work.

Instead of buying a 1000 directory submission, go for those 100-200 directory submissions. And stagger the submission by a month or so. From 100-200 directories, you may get accepted to 40-50, and if you had provided 5 unique titles and about 3-4 descriptions, you will have a good spread of different titles.

And usually, different directory submitters have different directory lists, and even though you stand the chance of submitting to the same directory again and again, using defferent service providers could give you dfferent directory lists, and usually the 100 directory submissions tend to be the top PR quality directories.

S0 if you get accepted at the rate of 40 each directory submission of 100-200, and you have bought 5 different services, providing each with 5 different sets of titles, you have 25 different titles in about 200 quality directories.

I would say that is good work!!
