Need help with SEO software.

New to this forum so a big HELLO to everyone. I built my own business website and implement my own SEO methods. My site has ranked at the #2 position on the 1st page of Google for over 18 months for my targeted keyword phrase. Good for me! I'm building 2 more sites to target 2 more keyword phrases, eventually hoping for simular results. On my existing site I have spent countless hours MANUALLY submitted all my SEO work. Registering on niche related websites, forums & blogs, submitting to directories and article directories. Don't want to spend hours & hours manually submitting anymore. I have researched automated software that can do this process for me, but which one should I invest in? I have never used an automated spinner or submitter. Your opinions & recommendations are greatly appreciated! As for the directory submitter, these are the features I'm looking for: quality 1-way links, not a lot of reciprocal and low ranking links, able to add my own directories, handles captchas, rotates my profile, monthly updates and is truly automated. Would love automated e-mail verification, but not necessary. Found some of these features in 2700 Directory Submitter & Deep Link Pro, but not enough in either to get me to purchase. Suggestions? Ok now before I get your opinion on an article spinner and or article submitter let me tell you about my approach to article writing. I first write a 500- 600 word niche related article and then rewrite it 6-7 times and then submit unique versions to 25-30 of the top article directories in a particular order. This has worked extemely well for me! Since I don't want to spin an article 100 times & submit it to 1000's or article directories should I really invest in two seperate softwares? I read that The Best Spinner is the spinner of choice, but it doesn't submit for you. The Article Marketing Robot had good & bad reviews, but it does spinning and submission. Also researched many more linxboss to jetsubmitter with mixed reviews. The Autmatic Article Submitter does both and had great reviews with a one time low payment. Leaning towards this one. Like I said I really appreciate all your suggesstions.
Thanks Alan
