Search Engine Forums, SEO Forum

Hai There,
I have just recently submitted a my web site which is www.ukshoppingpages.com to a web site called submitshop.com

which guarantee to submit to 60000 search engine.

Is this very true..that my site will be literally submitted to all the major search engine and will I get High PR ranking.

Thanks

Just my two cents here but here is the deal.

If you put out a bowl of milk... The cats will come.

Same rules apply for SE's.

If you put up good content and proper HTML website.

The engines will find YOU.

You should never have to SUBMIT to an engine.

Submitting to search engines is a thing of the 90's

It may be true but its not useful. Because the top 20 search engines are the only who serve 90% of the search engine driven traffic.

Submissions to directories is also important apart from submissions to search engines.

Ya I agree submission to the directories is also needed but submitting to 60,000 search engines for money is just useless for me.

Except if one wants/needs to target local search engines. in my case a good example would be www.ananzi.co.za which only allows South African web sites. Entry in the search engine, follows an entry in their directory.

I get more relevant results from local search engines, then from any other search engine. Amongst those 60.000 search engines may be many, that are actually regional search engines, hence many of the submissions may get rejected. Rejected, because they don't meet the region criteria.

Google itself has regional options as well.

As for the directories I think it is important that search engines accept them as backlinks. Only that way link popularity (and coclusively ranking) will really increase.

Also many of them might be FFA pages which are a waste of time now.

I wouldnt pay anyone to submit my site to 60,000 search engines. Probably 90% of them are crap and probably just FFA. These submissions will not help your site at all and wont get you anywhere. You can actually get in trouble for being on too many FFA sites!

Ya but still someone companies are there who offer these services, the question is. why?

Akash Kumar

These companies do it because they know there are people out there that dont know anything about seo and submissions. These companies will say that they submit to 60,000+ sites but in actuality, there are only a few that will help a site out. These companies are out to take innocent people's money!

Ya said that right because still there are lots of people who believe that just submitting to the search engines is enough.

Actually, this section is about link popularity. How would submitting to search engines help a site with link popularity anyway?

I can only see the following ways for getting higher link popularity:
* backlinks on your site
* Others place links to your site (for whatever reason)
* exchanging links with other sites
* submitting to directories
* writing in blogs/forums and the like

I have moved this post to the "Other Search Engines" from "Link Popularity".

Submitting to the search engines never helps you in your link popularity but the most easy and effective way of link building I find is posting in forums.
