URL Submissions

There are like 50,000 search engines.

All of them are not as big and known as Google Yahoo or MSN.

But they still send us traffic.

Search engines are always machine generated and machine organized data. Directories are human edited sites which help search engines organize and understand the web. Quality directories require a human review. That human review is a vote of quality or a vote of trust that search engines use to evaluate the quality of a site.

While many people believed that the submission process played a large part in the search engine ranking achieved, most businesses now realize that the submission process is merely a means of delivering optimized pages to the search engines.

I often find analogies to be beneficial, so lets try this one. If your optimized website was this summer’s blockbuster movie, then the movie theatre’s projector would be the submission process.

You want to make sure that the movie is shown using the best projection methods possible, but the actual projector does not make the movie a blockbuster.

However, without the projector, your movie would not be seen. With search engine optimization, it’s the changes to the website that ensure top positioning, but without correct submission to the search engines, no one will see them. Still with me?

So now that you’ve started to optimize your website, how do you make sure that your “blockbuster” reaches its target audience?

No doubt, you can name the most important search engines and I would hazard a guess that you could name many of the smaller ones too.

Which ones are important and how should you submit to them?

Take a look at the left menu and follow the links.

I also added some Free Url Submit Directories too.

You can check for them, they are very good to use for a new site.
