Some Article Marketing Robot Questions

I just bought AMR and I have a few questions that hopefully somebody can help with. They're very basic questions so please forgive the ignorance

1. How do I add new directories? I tried right clicking and going to directory groups but I can't find anywhere to put them

2. I successfully submitted an article to 438 directories a couple of days ago and right now I have 150 approved or pending. Is that a normal number

3. Is it better to spin the article on submission?


Would greatly appreciate any help with this

1.go to tool -> import/export site list,then copy paste your site list there and click ok
2.
There's a whole lot difference between approved and pending.
* Just blast to all the site in AMR.
*after submission check off the no and failed box and hit refresh.
*Check all the sites and do a live link report by clicking right mouse button while hovering over the green colored article list.In the live link window select "currently selected article" do a live link test.
*when it's finished,click the "live link" section bside "quick reuslt".it should sort out the links in a row that r live.then select all the articles that gave you live links by using shift.Right click on the selected articles choose "directory groups" create a directory name aa directory.So now every time you need couple hundred links you can do it by just using that directory.

3.It's not better to spin,spinning is a must,if you r looking to get any kind of result with the links.

Thanks for your reply, really appreciate it.

I figured out how to add the directories after I posted and felt like an idiot lol.
Is there a way to delete some of the directories that you don't want from AMR? I selected all the directories that don't let me sign up and marked them as blacklisted but they still show up. I'd really like to get rid of them.
