Submit Your site to the Search Engines.
This really is the most annoying and blatant rip off I have come across in the SEO world.
I get emails daily saying Let us submit your site to over 300 search engines or over 1000.
Do not pay This is FREE!!! You can submit your site to any engine for free, is not hard and there’s no way you need to submit to 300 you the main ones. I’ve seen charges of up to 150 dollars this is day light robbery and any decent SEO would do this for free for any client or even send a link to anyone wanting to do it themselves, I would.
Search engines can be submitted manually or automatically, manually being preferred.
The Get listed in however long they state annoys me to as it really only takes about 3weeks for a site to be listed on Google the get out clause is you could be listed on any not just Google or even if not Google. Msn is easy as is a couple of the Asian engines that have been created for just this reason.
Submit to directories
Now this is a wording con, Let us submit your site to 300 directories with relevant descriptions and keywords blah blah, What you have to remember is (and its in the title) that they are only submitting, this is not a guaranteed listing is just a submittal in fact its done automatically on a lot, there are directories around that have 300 directories all the same just different domain names, so it can quite easily look like 300 but only be one submission, the other problem with this is that descriptions are now looked at more closely by the search engines , so having 300 of the same title and description is pointless, one good link is as good as 300 of these submissions, take your time search for directories find the right categories that are reputable, this will stand you in good stead as people actually do search directories for sites but only the good ones like ask or yell.
