Manual Directory submission is better than Auto submission

I prefer manual submission always because automated submission can be considered as spam

That is correct i also have some doubt about it if i used auto submissions that is why i stick to manual submission though it take a lot of efforts but I am sure i'm sending to the right directory.

Yes i agree with you because in maunual submission we are free to choose the category which is more relevant to our site.

I always prefer to do the submissions manually, even though it may take some time it will give us the most appropriate results like what are working and what are not? Auto submission will speed up the process but will never get the appropriate results which we are looking for.
