MarketMax™ - Internet Marketing for Your Web Site
INTERNET MARKETING REFERENCE GUIDE
Search Engine Submission
BEWARE the company that says they will submit a site to
over 3500 search engines. First of all, there are about
12-14 search engines that a web site owner should be concerned
with (the rest are just Link
Popularity brownie points). Secondly, they are doing
only about 5% of what is needed to rank well.
In fact, it is not mandatory to submit a site to Google
anymore. The best method is to have Google find the page
through a link from another web site with good link popularity.
Once the site has been indexed, Google will refresh their
database every 30 days and the changes made will be reflected.
If the pages are already listed with Google, it is a safe
bet your web site will be penalized if the same pages are
submitted to their queue over and over.
Unfortunately, most search engines Add URL pages have been
spammed and literally bombarded with unsavory web sites
in the last few years, that search engines have had to put
less and less importance on the submissions. A web site
will rank much better if it has good links than if it is
submitted to a hundred search engines.
That said, submitting new pages in an existing web site,
or pages in a brand new web site, should still be done.
There will be a time when submissions are a thing of the
past, but currently they still hold a little weight, and
should therefore be performed.
MarketMax™ either performs a hand submission to all of
the major search engines (Manual Submission) or a mass submission
to many smaller search engines (Mass Submission).
