A: Normally you shall receive 200-400 confirm emails.Please be noted that not every directory will send confirm email for each link submission.As a comparison, manually submitting to 1000 directories, you shall receive around 400 confirm emails (This number is from my manual directory submission service).

Q: Are the directories owned by gtsee.com or its partners?
A: No, the directories are collected from directory list websites, forums like digitalpoint, v7n, directorycritic, etc. The directories are from different IPs, so it will give you best SEO.

Q: Why it said "8-40 characters will be better" for the title field in the submission form?
A: Some directories have a limit in title length, some will require it be less than 30, some will require it be more than 10. So it's better not to put a too long or too short title for you link in the title field. Also most directories will not accept duplicate title names, so make sure your title is unique for your link.
Actually there are only around 10 directories have such limit, so SEO oriented and unique title is more important than the character limit.

Q: Can we submit sub domain or internal urls?
A: Our script has not limit in sub domain or internal urls. But you are not recommended to do that, since most directories owners will reject deep links. Specially for deep links, only few directories accept deep link submissions, while sub domain is accept by around 70% of the directories.

Q: What's the better description length?
A: Some directories will require the description be shorter than 500 characters (even some will require less than 200), while some will require it be more than 100 characters. There is no minimum and maximum limit for all the directories. But a descript with a lenth between 150 and 200 characters will meet most directories requirements.

Q: Can I put an email address with different domain from the link to be submitted?
A: Yes, you can. Only few directories require the email address from the same domain as the link. The only thing is that some directories require email verifications for submissions, so make sure you put a live email address here, and check it regularly.

Q: Can we leave the reciprocal link field as default?
A: Yes, you can, but it's not suggested to do that, since tt's not good to submit many links with the same reciprocal link url. And if it's detected by a directory owner, they will reject your link. We are going to add a function to stop using the default backlink file in future.
Please download the rar file contains all the reciprocal link code for those reciprocal required directories, unzip it and then upload that htm file to your server, then type in the url of that file in the reciprocal link field in the submission form.

Q: What does it mean deep category name and main category name?
A: Most directories have several levels of categories, some will have only one level of categories. Main category are those like "Arts', "Business", "Computers", etc. If you go to DMOZ, those bold blue categories are the main categories, or first level of categories. And those categories under the main categories are called second level categories, and those under second levels are called third level categories, etc. All those except main categories are called deep category name.
For those directories with several levels of categories, most of them will only accept links submit to deep categories!

Q: How to input the 4 category options?
A: It's very important to input the 4 category options, since this will make the submission to a directory successful or not. And the tool will crawl the category from a directory based on the following algorithium:
Category Option 1: this shall be the exact deep category you wanted. When found in a directory, the category crawler will not search for the rest cateory options;
Category Option 2: if the first deep category option not found, the crawler will search for this one as backup. When found in a directory, the category crawler will not search for the rest cateory options;
Category Option 3: in case a directory doesn't have second level category, this is the first choice of main category to submit to; if found, will not search for category option 4;
Category Option 4: if the first main category not existed, will search for this category option;
If all the above are not found, the crawler will search for categories like other, miscellaneous, etc;
If still not found, the crawler will randomly choose a category to submit to, or exit with errors.

Q: Why we shall input 2 main categories instead of 2 deep categories?
A: To avoid the cases that a directory doesn't have deep categories, and that the crawler can't find a matched deep category.

Q: How the category crawler match the input category names from a directory categories?
A: The script uses the sub string function to match the category names input from the directories categories, means that if the input category name is a sub string of a directory category, it will select that directory category as a matached one.
Example 1: If you input "beauty" in the submission form, it will select any category names including "beauty" as a matched one, for example, "beauty products", "beauty salon", etc;
Example 2: If you input "marketing and advertising", it will not select "marketing" as a matched one, since "marketing and advertising" is not a sub string of "marketing";
Example 3: If you input "clothes", it will not select "cloth" as a matched one. However, if you input "cloth", the crawler will select "clothes" as a matched one.
From above examples, we can see that if you put the category names as simple as possible, it will increase the chance of finding a matched category name from a directory.

Q: Can you show a demo of the submission process?
A: Please view this demo:

Q: What does the submission status "done" mean?
A: Means that the tool submit to a directory is successful. If that directory will send a confirm email for submissions, you shall receive one confirm email under that case.

Q: What does the submission status "Not done" mean?
A: The tool will only put "done" in the status field if the feedback from a submission have the words like "thanks", "success", "submitted", "approval". Any other feedbacks except errors which doesn't have the above words inside will put "Not done". So "Not done" doesn't mean the tool doesn't submit your link to that directory. It only means that the directory gives different messages for a link submission, for example, some directories will give an ad page after submission.

Q: What does the submission status "Errors during submission:" mean?
A: These are the directories actually have problems while submitting, and will be caused by many reasons like timeout, category crawlling, unreachable, etc. Sometimes it will show exact error message after the ":".

Q: What does the submission status like 404, 500 error mean?
A: This means the directories are completely dead, for example, host account suspended, directory removed, unreachable, etc.

Q: Why some directories show no category and "Not done" or "Errors during submission"?
A: Two reasons will cause this, first is that the category crawler can't find a matched category name input by you; second is that the directory script issue. To avoid this, make sure you input the 4 category name options as simple as possible.

Q: What's the "timeout" means in the submission process page?
A: Don't worry about this, it's the apache server time out issue for scripts like php, perl, etc.

Q: Can I resubmit my website later? Or can I resubmit if the first submission is not a success?
A: Yes, you can submit the same website information without paying as many times as you can until we remove your website information from our server.
