[COLOR=#333333][FONT=arial]I am going to be starting a service where I manually submit people’s websites to web directories. I know there are problems with auto submitters, and that they should not be used, but I don’t remember what the problems are. I’m currently writing my ad copy, so if someone knowledgeable in this SEO-type field could answer my question, then great. I want to make it convincing not to use auto submission software, and to have me manually submit instead. Thanks!
