>automated submissions do not produce as effective results as manual submsissions

The thing is submissions to search engines are a dead concept for the most part of it. You don't need to submit to the larger engines, and if so, the index page is enough.

Submission, and very carefully crafted ones, are neccessary for directories. No software can do anything for you in that respect.
