Comments on: To How Many Search Engines Should I Submit My Site? http://www.hochstadt.com/to-how-many-search-engines-should-i-submit-my-site Internet Business In A New Light Fri, 21 Nov 2008 19:56:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: seocontest2008 http://www.hochstadt.com/to-how-many-search-engines-should-i-submit-my-site#comment-455 seocontest2008 Tue, 19 Feb 2008 12:05:17 +0000 http://www.hochstadt.com/to-how-many-search-engines-should-i-submit-my-site#comment-455 In my opinion submitting a webpage is the last appeal of a bitter webmaster. This isn’t the natural way to get recognised. The spiders of the major search engines continuously crawl the content of the Internet across links. These connections among websites pass forward to different things, which are the most important seo factors, the relevance and the importance. If I would link to your site using the “car rental” phrase as anchor text i would increase the relevance of your site for the mentioned expression and your site would share in the PageRank of my linking webpage. Don’t waste your time with search engine submission. If you have serious plans concerning internet marketing, go for some backlinks and your site will start the competition with some relevance and importance as well.

(You know those Webhosts that promote those kind of silly services.) But principally, I agree with what you said. I just would extend it to getting the on-page criteria right, too. Gaining links is a long-term task. Getting your source code right, on the other hand, can be done in minutes (or days, when speaking of blogs) while having a similar effect (approx. 40%). Gary,

If your site doesn't have links, chances are you aren't going to be included into the index, even if you submitted to it. My advice: work on gaining links and don't worry about submitting to the search engines. My answer: none.

That is, 80% of your search traffic (if not more) comes from 20% of the search engines out there. I don't directly submit my site to any of the search engines anymore, but it's always good to have those links handy in case a client asks for them!
