Search Engine Submission Services – Don’t Swallow the Bait
Search engine submission services are a scam – do not fall for it.
Submitting to 1000 search engines for $24.95 a month will not do you any good, because:
- It can done for free – just use our tool.
- Search engines use advanced algorithms to rank web pages, submitting once a month will not help you get visitors. What is known as search engine optimization is a billion dollar industry, charging $5000+ per contract to drive visitors to your website. Would you think submission is all to it?
- Search engines find web pages on their own. It is their job to find web pages. If you have a couple of links pointing to your website chances are – you’ll never have to submit, but if it makes you feel better, use the free tool.
- 1000 search engines won’t do you any good. How many search engines do you use? How many do you know? Google, Yahoo, MSN and Ask are by far the only ones used. 1000 is a marketing trick. Imagine a shopping mall in the middle of the desert, who would care?
Your email will be floating with spam. Search Engine Guide tested one of the services and in their own words:
“I have tested this with unique emails and submission services- many “submission services” are merely fronts for email list marketers. You are actually paying them to sell your email address.”
Website owners, especially new website owners know they need traffic, but they do not know how to get it. Submission to search engines sounds justifiable and 1000 search engines should definitely drive traffic. The problem is that search engines do not drive traffic to websites unless they meet a certain criteria. That criteria is links, keywords, themes, etc.
Better strategy for building traffic to you website is submitting your website to niche directories. This will tell search engines that you have links and make it clearer to classify your website theme.
Here’s a free directory of directories. Just find your field and submit. Google, Yahoo, MSN and Ask will find links in those directories and start ranking your website in a certain niche. Of course it takes far more work to appear on the first page of search engines, but this will get you started, plus it’s free.
Submitting over and over again doesn’t help
If you submitted to search engines, submitting again will not help. Your website is already in their index and it is not going anywhere. If you pay for resubmitting you’re pretty much buying another ticket, for the same train, for which you already had a ticket and which is free in the first place.
