            Hiya Patrick,

            Whilst it might seem tempting to create 10,000 back links a day ( more back links means better SERPS right ? - Nope ) this will not help you rank up in fact it will do the opposite and is more likely to have you removed from Google's results all together.

            A long time ago you could get away with loads and loads of links however times have changed a lot  so maybe you saw that it was a good idea - it is no longer so.  The best way to get on-top of search results is to create good content and good content means good links. All though this take more time it will give you far better results.

            You can find many good tips & tricks around here as to how to create good content that may get you good links. Please don't use an automated submitter (as seen by the horror above!)

            Good luck!

              I am amazed that this is actually being considered.

              this way is dead. this way does not work. this way will get the opposite results.

              sit read the great info here about inbound marketing and remember there are no short cuts just hard work

                Do not do this to your website or your clients! Just Don't! You will ruin their sites!

                    If you're referring to submitting links to directories via auto submission.

                    That is a very bad idea. You do not want a software program deciding rather not your website is going into what could possibly be a very bad directory or website creating a bad link pointing to your website.

                    To answer your question for myself no I would never use an automatic link submitter. I believe you will hear the same thing for many people here.

                    I hope this helps,

                    Thomas
