Is directory submission service a profitable niche?

Alot of people are selling directory submission services ever since google says that more backlinks == better serps and pagerank. Since the procreation of this market, many seo companies are started up and this niche seems to be getting more and more compeitive. Prices are being slashed ridiculously to get more clients, people set up their own directories and offer submissions deals. It seems that everyone is engaged in a “price war” that makes it really hard for seo companies to survive in this industry niche.

There are people selling really cheap packages like 1000 submission for 8 dollars. In any price war scenario, users are always the one that benefit most. In past years, you would rarely find any seo companies offering 1000 submission for just 8 dollars, but now, it’s everywhere.

Recently, i just purchased a submitter software which submit your website to the directories in their database in a semi-automated process. Semi automated means that you would need to manually enter the captcha code in order to complete the submission. Infact, after acquiring the software, i am thinking whether should i provide some directories submission services to offset the cost of the software. But i gave up on that idea soon after seeing people offering just $8 for a 1000 submission. A 1000 submission will takes around me a couples of hours ( non stop, sitting infront of the computer and submitting the links) to complete.

A couple of hours for just $8? It’s not really worth it. If anyone is considering whether to provide directory submission service? think twice, is that worth your time and effort?

Choosing/making the correct wordpress design

Beside all of off page factors in SEO, on page factors affects as well. This is where the web designers come about. Factors such as using h3 for post titles, using just one h1 tag in one page, alt tag for images etc. Check out domaintools.com, they have an seo browser.
