Directories and Submitem Now
By Mike | September 27, 2007
Todays question comes from the comments on the previours post about “What Blogging Directories Do You Prefer?”. It refers to the Submitem Now plugin for Firefox.
Hey, I just installed this program… is there any documentation on it?
Why wouldn’t I just add the links into my WP Update Services?”
First I would have them in my update services. The problem is that not all will add your feed if it does not match a subscriber or member blog.
As to using SN I don’t know of any tutorials on it other than what I have in my coaching course. There may be some but not that I have run across.
It is relatively easy to use. The first time will take the longest because you have to set up an account at each place. Some have to be verified so I usually start with two open tabs - one for Submitem Now and one for my Gmail account.
If you click the project butoon it will drop down a page where you will fill in the various information on the project such as your url, feed, keywords, descriptions etc. The second page of that is for your user name, name etc.
Once you have saved that click the data base button and you will see the various sites that are available. If you stop or want to skip any of the sites you can edit them there.
Click the next url button and it will start loading the various sites each time. Once they load click the fill form and it will load with the information you added into the project. This willcover most of the input fields and once you have either registered or filled in and submitted the forms click to the next one.
You may have to stop and verify your account before you can fill the form and that is when you go check your mail and click the verification link. This is why I opened the Gmail in the other tab.
Once you have done this the first time you can go through and do a new blog in less than an hour. The first time will take a bit longer because of signing up and verification processes.
If you stop halfway it will keep track and you can do this in 10 minute pieces if you need to and start right back where you left off.

I’m fairly new at this so please explain what add a links page means? I do have several links pointing to webpages in my main site on my blog. Do I create a link page pointing to them? I think I know how to do that. I just want to make sure this is what they want.
Thank you in advance.
