I gathered a list of free general directories when I submitted E.S.Photography to them about a week ago. These are the lists of the succsesful ones, the ones that didn't load for some reason and those that require cash or a reciprical link even though advertised as free:
Successful (994)
comma separated at homepage.ntlworld.com/andrew.baldock/tips/doneurls1.txt
html list at homepage.ntlworld.com/andrew.baldock/tips/doneurls2.txt]html list
Didn't Load (164)
comma separated at homepage.ntlworld.com/andrew.baldock/tips/noloadurls1.txt
html list homepage.ntlworld.com/andrew.baldock/tips/noloadurls2.txt]html list
Require Cash/Reciprical/not general (382)
comma seperated homepage.ntlworld.com/andrew.baldock/tips/deletedurls1.txt
html list homepage.ntlworld.com/andrew.baldock/tips/deletedurls2.txt
Tips
A couple of things really helped me speed things up. First is a freeware programme at phraseexpress.com/download.htm that can store text and paste it when you press a key combination. Combined that with a images.belkin.com/F8GFPC100/FUL1_F8GFPC100.jpg with can assign macros to its keys and you get a single keypress to paste the URL, Description, etc, instantly. You can actually take this another step. Since a lot of the directories follow the same format you can set up a sort of macro of macros. What I mean is you set a key on the Nostromo to paste the URL, then press tab, then paste the description, then tab, and so on so that it fills the entire form virtually instantly.
A lot of the directories need descriptions between 100 and 200 characters, some need more then 15, so ideally make a description between 150 and 200 characters.
Finally just make sure that the submission is written in such a way that the directories can't find a reason to remove it (e.g. remove things like "great site"), the last thing you want is to submit to 1000 directories only to have 300 reject you.
One last thing, I spent a number of days submitting to all these, at the end of that I was on the verge of having a nasty case of repetative strain injury. Next time I think I'll spread the submitting over a longer time period.
