The short answer is yes, absolutely worth it!

Here are the advantages:

1. They provide a list of directories that take submissions
2. They save you time by automating the data entry required for each directory
3. They keep track of which directories you have submitted to
4. They give you an indication of the page rank strength of the directory
5. They update the list of directories with new directories regularly

Here are the disadvantages:

1. Some tools are just used by spammers to harvest your details
2. Some tools only provide semi-automatic data entry and you still need to manually enter some details
3. Some tools only allow you to store your data online

Overall directory submission tools are a must if you are looking to build back links and promote your web site.

There is one free directory submission tool that I use called Submit Helper as I find its features are easy to learn quickly. Check out Submit Helper 0.5 (beta) here.

If you are into niche marketing, then coming up with good keywords is paramount to ensuring your site will get noticed by search engines and people. One of the methods for finding relevant keywords for your niche is to brainstorm for keywords. This is a good way to generate a few “seed” keywords around your niche topic, but if you want more related keywords you will need to use a tool such as a keyword suggestion tool.

Keyword suggestion tools can generate hundreds of suggested keywords from a single topic keyword seed. One of the earliest keyword suggestion tools was published by Overture along with the number of monthly searches for each keyword. Those were the good old days. Support for the Overture Keyword Suggestion tool stopped a few years back and the data has since become stale and less relevant for today’s internet marketers.
