Guys, come on, do not be so naive like I was.
After imteaz refunded me (I appreciated it!), I started submitting my sites MANUALLY by myself. Maybe I am not the fastest submitter, but I am not slow either. You need at least a whole day in order to submit a single site PROPERLY to 200 directories (unless you work 20-hours/day!). Imteaz is in Canada, his partners go on vacations to the cricket world cup which is being held in the Caribbean this year. Can one survive on $16 a day while living in Canada where the minimum salary is $7.50/ hour?…. Can a submitter with the salary of $1.50/hour allow himself to go on a Caribbean vacation? Somehow I have serious doubts about that.
Anyway, forget about a manual submission for such a low price. It is a plain automatic submission. These days many directories apply protection measures against automatic submissions (I estimate- at least 60%), that is why submitters send your links to 500-600-700 directories for the price of 200. My case was even worse. The guy who supposedly did the work for Imteaz while his partners were on vacation, did NOT submit ANY of my sites AT ALL. I have already proved it by submitting my sites MANUALLY to the same directories where my sites were supposed to be listed (or at least- submitted to).

Even surprised me with ALOT more than the 200 submissions!!
A big deal!! I personally received a report with over 700 submissions claimed to be done instead of 200 that I paid for. The submitter simply did not walk the talk. One thing is telling someone how many extra submissions he would get for free, another- how many are really going to be done. In my case- 770 submissions reported, 0- done. Nice statistics…
My advice- take your time and do submissions by yourself. Yes, it is slow. Yes, it is boring and it tires you out, but this way you get a 100% guarantee that all your links have been submitted properly! And in the end you WILL get satisfied with results of your hard labour by seeing real backlinks from YOUR submissions. I was tempted by the cheap submission price and was taught a good lesson!
