I have more then 5000 Search Engines and Directories, and I want open service Hand Submit websites not auto software, but don't know how much I can charge...
rusmart - If you believe that there are 5000 search engines and directories worth submitting to, or that submission to search engines is of value, then you have no business charging anybody for your services.
Crawler-based search engines will find you via inbound links to your site.
Directories do require manual submission, and there are perhaps a handful of directories worth submitting to. Choosing an appropriate directory category and writing a good directory title and description requires some knowledge of SEO, and what's appropriate varies from directory to directory. The process can take some time. I charge by the hour.
Most submission services IMO are worth ... well ... NOT MUCH.
rusmart, blanket submissions as you probably know can get a site in trouble with some SE's. These days, if a submission service or consultant is to provide real added value, they must know which directories actually have provide value, and commit to submiting their clients' sites to only valuable resources...and relavant resources.
I personally would not go near most of these goofy 'submission services' but there are individual consultants and SEO companies that can be trusted to do things like this.
