How many a webmaster has succumbed to the Siren song of the automatic search engine submission? You have finished building your website, labored extensively over Meta tags, added germane keywords, spent long nights writing keyword specific articles that would provide interesting content for your site, and you even read up on the proper placement of links, and how to generate a lot of link backs, yet when it came time to make the search engines aware of your little corner of the Internet, you did not submit to the search engines one at a time and with proper discrimination, but instead simply filled out a few fields and hit “enter.”

What you probably ended up with was a flawed search engine submission, a host of error messages sent to the email address you indicated on the form, and probably an opening of the flood gates that will permit ample amounts of SPAM to descend onto your email account. Such free search engines submission is usually not quite as free as you would like, because the price you pay is a loss of your email account – SPAM can get so bad that you will have to close it and open a new one – and also a failure to get submitted to the engines. Many of these no longer accept automated submissions and thus will have rejected you outright.

A professional search engine submission is oftentimes done with the use of search engine submission software. While this is a definite step above the random hit or miss free search engine submission option, it still does contain some bugs that might leave your site un-submitted to all the sites it might have promised. Probably the best form of search engine submission is the time consuming but highly effective manual method. Granted, it will add some significant time to your search engine submission process, but considering how much time and effort you have already invested in your site, does it not make sense to invest this same care into the publication of your site? Doing the submitting manually ensures that you follow all the rules of the search engines, type in the codes that weed out the submission bots, and also learn some great tips and tricks on where exactly to place your site! This might quite possibly be the best extra time you ever spent and the end results, sales and daily hits will speak for themselves!
