Any recommendations?
manual, Indian, about $80/1000... there probably a lot cheaper, but this is my old contact.

Thanks. Do you know how many would actually go live and give you indexed backlinks per 1000?
Also, you might want to obfuscate that email since this is public.
I have had a bit done through sellers on fiverr, probably not as good as manual submissions though.
digixmas.com
gtsee.com
sicksubmitter.com

We have full time freelancers but I've used http://www.directorymaximizer.com/ and that is good and 'apparantly' manual. Great ordering system you'll see what I mean if you try it... it's a bit like the vista print or amazon of directory submissions :)
also submitedge.com have a manual service which worked well.
We've used http://www.econceptinfotech.com/ with somewhat success - will do non-english submissions as well.
Let them know I sent ya and ask for a discount.
I don't like automation unless I were choosing the sites and pushing the button.
I can name two via sticky. One is an agency in India with the main office in Australia. They flew me to Pune a year ago to train their staff in all things SEO, including checking their workflows. Their submissions are OK, not exceptional. Fine for bulk work. The owner goes to Pubcon. I gave them a $65k order for content writing ~2500 items at the previous workplace (iconic brand) and they delivered 95% quality, but the rest was easily editable. I am about to refer them to a large insurance company.
The other is a WMW member who is also in Pune and he's the kind who will be anal about finding good links. Good for solving a tough problem but too expensive for bulk. I initially contracted him at another previous workplace, which is a large SEO agency. A subsidiary bank of the big bank where I am consulting just engaged him and another client in NSW is flying him to check out the site in person (holiday niche) for a complete SEO solution.
The key in outsourced directory submission (referring to unknown outsourcers, not the above) is to give them a spreadsheet with every possible variation you can use for the submission fields. List all the things you don't want them to do. I run an AU/NZ directory and see a lot of hastily pasted submissions where there is no care factor. In the contract make it clear whether you are paying for submissions or acceptances that won't be deleted later.

I've got a really good team in India. Manish is the best I've found in this area...He's got a good team and will even do directory submissions over a long period of time to "slow the process down" and make it look natural.
Very reliable, and overall just good people:

Dogboy did you get any answer to Drastic's question

They say it's manual, although in the past I've requested to receive all confirmation emails and I always receive all of them within a 10 second time span so I question the manual submission.
Um, perhaps they press the button - manually. ;)
sorry boys, stopped following this thread... I really don't know, and I haven't used her in a long time.
As far as blocking the name, I think it's ok to leave it up(?) She's not doing anything illegal, or even unethical, and I think would like the business and has no website I can recall.

I meant for spambots, as in make it readable but not easily scraped.
oh, yeah, you're right... eheheheh after all these years of seeing the grey screen, I forget we're getting crawled now.
