Manual submission is a way better - because this way you can avoid duplicate anchors to your site

You can control if you do it manually. Automated sometimes fails...

Manual submission for me too. It might be more tedious, but it pays off better than automated.

i've read about this in other forum (i forgot where) that Google and other SE's prefer manual submission other than automated submission. The question here is, how do they find out whether a submission is manually done or done automatically.

automatic -> manual -> semi auto -> manual

thats my experience.

Read about creating back link first before create back link

There is no penalty for submitting a page twice, so there's no harm in doing automatic and then following up with a manual on the directories you consider important.

I prefer to manually submit a website, but automatic submissions can be ok if it is once off and not spam

I was considering this same thing. I have always done manual submissions though.

I prefer manual since it gives me more control and it seems to get better results.

you can't go wrong with manual submission coz you have the over-all control with it..

It's a good rule of thumb when it comes to all facets of link-building that manual is better than automated. This is because with manual activities you can reduce the patterns (SEO fingerprint) that inevitably show up through automation.

Sometimes one has to weigh the benefits of manual activities with the speed and quantity of automated, but whatever can be done manually should be done manually.

Manual web operations are always preferred over the automatic, software run applications. Besides, many of the search engines and directories simply do not like the automated submissions.
