Submit Site Search Engine
You’ve heard it before and I’ll say it again, when you submit your site to search engines, you should shy away from auto submission companies that promise you top listing on all the major engines. In fact, it’s the major engines that you want to submit manually. Free Web Submission’s homepage provides a list of the top engines as rated by alexa. When subitting your website you wanna basically hand submit those top 5 engines… Yahoo, MSN, Google, About and Open Directory which refers to DMOZ. The rest of those engines are not nearly as important at those top 5, however it can never hurt to have more incoming links to your site. So you might consider auto-submission to cover those and only those, but what you need to be careful about it that you have control over the list of engines to whom your sending. I say this because you don’t want to re-submit to those top 5 engines as they’ll tag you with spamming the engine and penalize your site. Personally I stick to that form on the bottom of that same Free Web Submission Site and I make sure to uncheck Google and Alexa. Alexa is also one that I hand submit btw. Beyond those, I find that my sites make they’re way just fine into all the other little engines out there once I get listed into some of the bigger ones. So my submittion routing is Yahoo, MSN, Google, About, DMOZ, Alexa, and the list on Web Site Submission minus Google and Alexa. Enjoy!
