SEO search engine submission

Search engine submission is the process of submitting your site URL to
the thousands of search engines across the web for them to crawl. SEO
firms have traditionally charged for this service and many customersclaim to be happy with the results, to my continuing amazement.

Other firms have provided automated multiple-submission services, using
either online interfaces or desktop software. However, this kind of activity
has become greatly devalued in recent years, partly because of the relative
dominance of the major engines and also since most decent search
engines crawl the web so find websites by themselves quite happily.
Nevertheless, search engine results pages for the lesser engines do occasionally get crawled by Google, and for this reason there is a small residual value to search engine submission.
My recommendations, in brief, are as follows:

* Do not use search engine submission software. Many of the programs
do not work properly as their links are out of date and
some search engines actively block or blacklist such submissions.
Google’s Guide for Webmasters says: “Don’t use unauthorized
computer programs to submit pages, check rankings, etc.
Such programs consume computing resources and violate our
terms of service.”
* To find other search engines, search on Google for the words
“submit URL,” “submit site,” and “add to listing” in turn and
work your way slowly through the top 100 results. There are so
many search engines, you could well spend a few happy weekends
on this activity alone. My advice is to check the PageRank
of an engine’s homepage before bothering to submit. Anything
less than PR4 is not worth the hassle.
* Use the same description as you used for the directory submissions
(where a description is asked for). Always place your
homepage URL in the submission box; the engine (if decent)
will find and crawl the rest of your pages from there.
I would only bother submitting to the following eight engines (and leave all the rest to people with more time than sense).
