Search Engine Submission is SO Old School!

Have you come across documents promoting search engine submission yet? If you have been in Internet Marketing for any length of time, you have. Did you know that search engine submission was THE thing to do to get traffic back when there were only 500 web sites on the internet? Great idea when there were so few sites competing for everyone's attention...not so much when there are several BILLION websites online today! Are you sure that the search engine submission technique is still a good idea? Keep reading...

The process of search engine submission involves you taking the time to submit the URL for your website to a search engine. Historically, undertaking the act of search engine submission was important because by doing so, you actually “made” the search engine “aware” of the existence of your website. This was a tool through which you could assure that your website would show up on result lists for certain searches.

In the past, search engine submission was important. However, over time and as search engine technology has developed, these search engines now have their own technical tools that assist them in identifying and listing even new websites within their indexes. In other words, the whole concept of search engine submission to gain at least initial recognition of a website has become far less important, and more importantly, obsolete. The key really is developing ways in which you can increase the positioning of your website on search engine result rankings. Therefore, you likely would be better served focusing your time and effort on developing SEO strategies as opposed to search engine submission. You will find many options later on this blog, as we find them and report them back to you.

Stay tuned!
