Search Engine Submission - Facts Versus Myths Stay away from the search engine optimizing companies that offer to submit your site for a fee. They are worthless and can actually hurt your business. Get listed in directories and concentrate on quality content.
Want to get listed in 3000+ search engines- Don’t bother.
Search engine submission is useless in this day and age.Ignore those emails and offers you get where the guy yells about “submitting your site to the Top 400 search engines for only $49.99.” For starters, there are only four major search engines — the ones that matter most: Google, Yahoo, Ask, and MSN.
With those four, you’ve covered 95% of the search activity, if not more. There are some good smaller search engines, too, such as Gigablast. But in all cases, search engines are smart enough now to find you without you submitting your URL.
All you need is a link from another site in the search engine’s index, and the crawler will eventually find you. The better the web site that links to you, and the more often the page where your link appears is crawwled, the sooner you should be found.
The widespread adoption of high-speed Internet access by consumers has made the Internet a daily utility for a large segment of the population. As Internet users themselves, local businesses now understand the importance of being in front of online consumers—who shop online, but buy offline.
That doesn't mean you ignore marketing your website. Quite the contrary it means you must redouble your efforts to have an effective online campaign.
Getting links from directories much like AZDecorating enables the search engines to find you. Can you submit direct? Of course, Google doesn't charge and others will try and upsell you for priority submission. But all the search robots follow links and organic listed can be a boom to your business.
Getting a link back to your website can sometimes be as easy as asking. If you are buying from a friendly vendor who values your business go ahead and ask for a link. You can also offer a link back so it is a win-win.
