Search Engine Submissions That Boost Link Popularity!
Lil Waldner

“Submit to 10,000 Search Engines” or “Submit to over 200,000
Search Engines”. This kind of ads should attract customers. It
looks great to submit to so many search engines. Submission
software is offered that helps to submit hundreds of websites
to hundreds of search engines during several hours. What is a
realistic, possible result of all these nice tools? The
achieved link popularity is near Zero, but the mail box is
filled by the autoresponders from the mass of FFA (Free for
all) search engines.

Which Search Engines count?

Only a few of the many search engines really count! 99,9 % of
all those who go on-line to find something use one of the 18
top search engines. Scrub The Web provides this information in
it’s member area. Yahoo, MSN Search and Google are the top
three search engines according to Alexa Ranking. Alta Vista and
AllTheWeb – also famous search engines - belong to Yahoo and
are supplied by Yahoo.

If Link Popularity of a website is measured by the services
that provide this information, only the Link Popularity of a
website at Google, MSN, Yahoo, AllTheWeb, Alta Vista or Hot Bot
is displayed. This shows that only a few search engines really
count for Link Popularity. It is not necessary to submit to
thousands of search engines, but to the few important search
engines in the right way.

Manual work instead of automated submissions

Yahoo search demands that a submitter of websites has to be
logged in a Yahoo email address before the submission can
start. Submitting to MSN is only possible after typing of a
code that is presented in a window. Google says that it is not
necessary to submit a site to their search engines. Their
spiders crawl the web and can find the websites. Google offers
anyway an Add URL page and does not penalize repeated
submissions. It seems that Google Sitemaps is a recommendable
tool for webmasters to improve the chance that websites get
indexed.

Submissions to directories

Submissions to directories result in good quality links to the
website. The Open Directory Project is the most important of
all directories. It is very difficult to get a site listed in
this Number 1 directory. Repeated submissions are necessary.
Google favours websites that are listed in The Open Directory
Project. The Yahoo Directory comes next but it is expensive.
The websites of vilesilencer and trendmetrix list hundreds of
good directories. A lot of them are free and of high quality.
They are spidered by the major search engines. This high
quality links are not only good for boosting the Link
Popularity, but of the Google PageRank.

Quality counts

The conclusion is that only the quality of the links counts
that can be gained from search engines and directories to the
website. Submissions to thousands of search engines are a loss
of time and resources. Most of the work has to be done
manually. Good results can be achieved, but it is a question of
time, rather in months than in a days.
