I am not quite keen on automated submissions because such a bad marketing technique gets you a whopping number of backlinks in a very, very short period of time. This may alarm search engines and if they are able to dig out the truth (most certainly, they will), the whole purpose of submission gets defeated.

If you can risk your website’s ranking, get going with it. Else, stick to manual submissions alone.

Never try to automated directory submissions, those are no use.
