Have you thought about starting your own website to earn some money on the Internet? Well, with the help of PHP Dir Submit script you can now start your own semi-automatic submission service website without the high cost. You don’t even need to hire a web designer. The script comes with an installer and all you’d have to do is upload the files to the FTP server and then go the install folder. Just like WordPress and many other php scripts, you will need to create a database prior the installation.
PHP Dir Submit is a 3-in-1 submission tool. It allows your visitors to submit to web directories, article directories and social bookmarking sites. You have the options to add your own directories and social bookmarking sites in the administration section. After joining your site the visitors will only need to add their website and article details once, and then they can submit to all web directories, article directories and social bookmarking sites quickly and effectively. The end result is no different to manual submissions.
As the numbers of websites are growing on the Internet, more people will be looking for submission services to help them save time. This is where you come in. And because a PHP Dir Submit is pretty much automated the only thing you would have to do is promotion. The best to promote it is offer free sign ups at the beginning. Once you have a solid member base you can then start charging people for the submissions. This is just one way of doing it. Of course you can also integrate it to your existing site. Either on sub-domain or a sub section on the site.
Doing so will make your site more valuable for your customers. Make it a free tool and watches the traffic go up each day. Also, when you have a valuable tool on your website people will most likely link to it and talk about on forums, blogs and chat rooms etc. Internet is a very fast moving environment, so it is possible that you get thousands of back links and/or visitors overnight. Make sure you have some links on the tool page to direct the visitors to your service page or main site. This way you will enjoy free unlimited traffic to your website.
That’s all update this time, wait for next update!
I have purchased PHP Dir Submitter and i must say i was not happy with it at all.
The script is easy to install and so simple offering 3 submission services (Social Bookmarking, Directories Submission, Articles Submissions).
I did try the directory submission and social bookmarking for many times and despite the fact that almost all of the directories and social sites are dead, still you have problem with social sites and bookmarking, there is a problem with the bookmarking process and it keep failing and it seems a problem with the script, i have updated the list of social sites using Pligg social sites as the script allow only Pligg sites as its claim and still i faced the same problem.
As for directory submission, the script only support PHPLD sites and i have updated my site and included all free PHPLD directories, but for a reason the script still would work with some sites and would not work with other sites, note that all sites are of PHPLD which is another problem.
I did not try the article submission service offered by the script and i can not give any info about that.
I have contacted the owner and he replied in a responsible time and asked me to explain the issue and i did reply back with detailed explanation and simply he did not reply back. I contacted him again about the issue after a few days and there was no response from him again.
I contacted him for the third time saying that i would like to purchase the unlimited license just to see if he would reply and he did…
So from that experience i would say:
1. The script almost 99% useless and hardly work.
2. There is almost no update.
3. Support is unprofessional by all means or you can say there is no support.
Thanks for this info. Let’s hope the creator will give feedback soon.
Is it possible to use this script for other types of forms? For example Semi-Automated model application forms , if i will know 3rd part wesbites(model agencies) URLs ,their field names , values ? I’m searching for the similar script to help models to submit their portfolios .
I think as long as the principe is the same, you can use it for another.
This sounds a great PHP project.
Yeah, it is.
Sounds interesting. It would definitely save me a lot of time. I’ll add it to my list to check out over the holidays.
Yeah, it is always great if you have your own subscription service.
This seems to be a option to try out, hopefully in the coming future.
Yes, it is.
Nice one, will try it. Thanks!
You should.
Hey dana
That sounds interesting….have to check it out. Thanks
Yeah, you should check it.
[...] 6.) Start Your Own Semi-Automatic Submission Service [...]
Yeah one day I will create such a service of mine! But I plan to create a site like FaceBook or Digg in the future.
Good luck then. Something like FaceBook or Digg will need lot of effort but you will be in top if you can do it.
Thanks for the positive & encouraging comment. Hope it happens just as you said!
