Free search engine submission gives very little benefit and whilst it does no harm, it is most unlikely to do any good either.

Search Engine Submission

Search Engine Submission is used by some make sure that your website is being read and indexed by the various search engine spiders. Some also suggest that you should repeat your search engine submissions on a regular, even monthly basis. So what does this achieve and is it necessary?

Types of Search Engine Submission

Depending on the search engine, there are three ways to submit your website each of which are described lower down:

 

Is Search Engine Submission Necessary?

There is no question that for a website to be found, the search engines need to know that it exists. Some companies and software vendors will suggest that regular submission to the search engines will get you found faster and helps your website ranking, however the reality is that this has little if any impact on how quickly you get listed, and absolutely no impact on your ranking.

By far the most common way for a new website or web page to be found is by the search engine spiders following a link to it from somewhere else. The most effective way to have a new website indexed is to build links to it using a link management program, or you can opt for a Paid Inclusion program.

In summary, site submission is not strictly necessary. A website will be listed much faster, and with much greater effect, by building a number of links from other websites to your own. For
those who want a less intensive
and more immediate approach
there are paid inclusion or paid
listing programs and XML feeds.

Free search engine submission

Some search engines offer a free submission service, the most notable being Google. This allows you to enter one page at at time to their database to be indexed. With the exception of Google, most search engines that offer this are minor, and Google site submission takes a very long time. A link management program would be far more effective, and a produce results a lot more quickly.
 

Paid Inclusion or Paid Listing

Paid inclusion or paid listing programs are not available for every search engine, however these can help significantly when it comes to getting new websites or web pages listed quickly. Paid Inclusions programs allow you to submit any number of individual pages for indexing.

Further to this these programs also provide significant benefits for web pages with dynamic content. Paid Inclusion programs not only guarantee a listing within a certain timeframe, they also provide frequent revisits. When pages are being delivered with changing content, these programs are one of the best options to make sure your search engine listings are up to date.
 

XML Feed or XML Paid Inclusion

XML feeds are a recent introduction to the search engine community and like paid inclusion programs, they are not available for all search engines. They provide a greater control over how your web pages are index, and listed in the results pages. They don't guarantee where your website will rank, but the listing and search results page summary are much more controllable, and easier to update.
 

Free Submission
Free submission is still offered by some small search engines, and notably Google, but this does not mean your website will get listed.
Free page submission takes longer than any other method available to list new websites or pages.
There a better, more effective and quicker ways to get new sites listed in search engines, and they don't all cost money.
