I'm sure you've seen the ads for search engine submit services and software -- you know the ones that boast they will submit your website to hundreds or even thousands of search engines for a certain fee?
Well, don't buy into these schemes -- even if they are offering something for free.
First of all, around 85 percent of all search engine traffic come from Google, Yahoo!, MSN and other portals of these sites. Portals are search engines that use results from other engines.
For example, AOL's search results come from Google. So once you are optimized for Google's search engine, then those same rankings will apply for AOL. Netscape and any other portal that uses Google's results.
The other search engines make up the remaining percentages and most of them don't even account for a full 1% of all search traffic.
In other words... they're NOT worth submitting to!
Second, most search engine submittal services use automated software to attempt to submit your site. What they don't tell you is that most engines IGNORE any kind of automated software submissions so when they attempt to add your site, it just gets rejected or ignored.
Yes, some of the smaller engines may allow the automated submissions, but they don't get enough traffic to do you any good -- so it ends up being a moot point anyway.
Who cares if you're listed in Search123.com if they only make up .0005% of overall search engine traffic.
Yahoo!, MSN, and Google are the only three search engines that matter right now.
Third, many engines are now banning sites that continuously submit. They consider it "spamming". So if you're using a submission service that promises a monthly or quarterly submission, then they could be putting your site in danger of getting permanently banned or blocked!
The tricky part is that it varies from search engine to search engine. One engine may allow multiple submissions, while another may not.
Of course you, the unsuspecting consumer, has no way of knowing all this. These companies just take your money while you await the traffic that will never come.
Notice that many of these companies never claim your site will be listed...they just promise the submittal. What about all those sites that reject automated submissions? Are they going to do them all by hand?
They know most of their customers don't know much about the search engine optimization world so they bank on it...literally! I mean if you're a beginner with no website traffic and you see an ad to submit your site to thousands of engines for $20, that would sound like a pretty good deal wouldn't it?
I've Been Victimized Myself.
I fell into this trap when I was a newbie online marketer. I used to buy submission software and submit to companies that offered thousands of submissions.
They also submit to free classifieds or free for all link sites that only get visits from other traffic-seeking webmasters. Consumers don't go here to look for information. They go to Google, Yahoo, MSN; and if they're looking to buy something the visit familiar commercial websites like Amazon.com.
In addition, many of these companies now state they'll list your site by hand for some of the engines and directories. I find that hard to believe because that would take a ton of work, especially if the orders are rolling in. Again, how could they really prove this since most search engines don't send email confirmations.
Also, some of the directories that really count require a one-time fee to even consider listing your site. How do these submission sites like handle these situations?
The answer is, "They don't!" They're misleading you into thinking you are going to get a lot of traffic when they are really taking advantage of your ignorance of search engines.
Do it Yourself for Free!
Since Google, MSN and Yahoo are the three main engines you need to be concerned about, here's a quick overview of how to get listed in all three. You don't need a submission service when you can do it yourself in minutes.
Submitting to Google
Getting listed in Google, the most popular search engine, is absolutely free and one way to get in is to submit to www.dmoz.org (The Open Directory).
Unfortunately it may take some time to get listed here because the directory is run by all volunteers and there's no real hurry for the editors to add your site.
Also, if your site is rejected, most editors won't tell you why. So it definitely takes some patience. Just be sure your site is polished and has enough unique content before you submit.
If you can't get into The Open Directory you can use Google's "Add URL" link here http://www.google.com/addurl.html. However I will tell you that this method is not guaranteed.
Another way to get into Google is to be linked from a site that is already in the engine. When Google visits the site that's already listed, it may find your site and add it to its index.
Getting Listed in Yahoo!
Yahoo! is unique because it has a searchable directory and a regular search engine like Google. It's also important to note that if you're listed in one that doesn't mean you're automatically listed in the other.
The categorized directory is rarely searched. Most people use the normal search function on the Yahoo! homepage. However, some experts say if you have a listing in their directory it can help your positioning in Google.
In order to get into Yahoo!'s directory you must submit manually. Go to their site and drill down to the category that best describes your site.
Click the "Suggest a Site" link. If your site falls into a commercial category then you must pay a mandatory $299/year fee. If your site is non-commercial then you can suggest for free but there's no guarantee you'll get listed.
To get listed in their regular engine, it helps to be listed in other engines or linked from other sites that are already in Yahoo!'s directory. That way Yahoo! can find (spider) your site and add it to their search engine.
Another way is to submit directly using their "Add URL" form. There is no guarantee you'll get listed this way, but it can't hurt to try. You should only have to submit your homepage. Yahoo's spider will find the rest of your pages.
Submitting to MSN
To submit to MSN go to their "Add URL" page. You should only have to submit your homepage and it will find the rest of your site.
Most of the time MSN will add you faster than Google and Yahoo so you may find your site listed pretty quickly.
Don't Keep Submitting
Once you submit to the search engines, you must be patient. Don't panic if you don't see your site in the index. It may take weeks or even months. Keep adding content to your website and check monthly to see if it has been added by typing your address in the search field.
In Summary
Most search engine submit software and services are nothing but scams, and it's time we start to take a stand against them.
Don't give them a red cent -- instead educate yourself on how to REALLY get listed with the major search engines and be sure to drop these submit services an email letting them know that they weren't successful in suckering you into believing their submit service actually works.

Free Traffic From TrafficSwarm
Register Free Domain Name : www.dom.ir
Before I get into this, I want to state that I am generally NOT a fan of these MLM (multi level marketing) traffic generation programs. Generally they only benefit sites that have high traffic levels, as well as sites that are targeted to other webmasters.
Even though this program is quite similar to many of the other MLM traffic programs out there, Traffic Swarm does have some distinct differences that I believe are keeping this program alive.
I have used it for quite some time to promote more than one of my web sites and have receive hundreds of hits per month, as well as proven revenue as a result of this program.
Be sure to read this entire article carefully because even though I have had success, not everyone does. And I do believe these kinds of programs perform better on certain kinds of sites.
How it Works (In Traffic Swarm's words)
It's simple. You just enter some basic information about the site(s) that you want to promote - a Category, the URL, a Title, and a Description.
This information is used to generate targeted links to your site, which are then displayed throughout the TrafficSwarm network - including our incredibly popular "Start Page" system, the TrafficSwarm search engine, etc.
And our automated Anti-Cheat monitoring systems mean that you're guaranteed only real, live, targeted visitors to your site(s).
The number of times your links are shown is based on a simple "credit" system - each credit that you earn or purchase represents another targeted link to your site. Listed below are the many ways to earn traffic credits ...
1. Set your browser's Start Page to your custom TrafficSwarm URL, and you will earn 1 credit each time you open your browser.
2. Click on other users' links on your Start Page and you'll randomly earn between 1 and 1,000 credits for each site you visit.
3. Use the TrafficSwarm Search Engine to find what you're looking for, and earn between 1 and 1,000 credits for each site you visit.
4. You can also earn free "mystery credits", as well as play the TrafficSwarm Lottery and win up to 25,000+ credits per day.
5. Refer other webmasters to TrafficSwarm (you will NOT believe how EASY this is, in fact, it happens automatically!), and you will also:
* Earn 100 credits for each new activated user you refer
* and earn 1 credit each time they open THEIR browser
... down 5 "levels" deep! What this means is that if you refer Joe to TrafficSwarm, Joe refers Mary, Mary refers Bill, Bill refers Sally, and Sally refers Ed ... you will earn credits on ALL of these people, and people they refer too!
So as you can see, there are several ways to earn free credits to your site. And every time a credit is earned, your site will be displayed inside the network.
The reason I believe this works better than most MLM programs is because they do their best to target the links so your web site is shown to people that are potentially interested in your web site's content.
Most MLM networks simply just display your link randomly so the people viewing the link to your site may have no interest whatsoever.
My Disclaimer...
I will also say that I believe my site has an advantage over many members because I am able to recruit so many people to the program.
If you can recall, you earn 100 credits (displays to your site) by referring other members to Traffic Swarm. Well, since this site is geared towards existing web site owners, I have a lot of potential clientele right here. So every time someone joins, I earn 100 displays for my link.
Generally, people that have sites that are targeted to other webmasters perform better with these MLM programs simply because they are rewarded more for recruiting others. And of course other website owners are going to be attracted to this kind of program since they want to increase traffic to their sites as well.
So if your site is about cooking, the majority of the people that visit your site are interested in cooking. They're not concerned with getting traffic to their site. Most of your visitors probably won't even have a web site -- so an advertisement for Traffic Swarm may go unnoticed.
However! Unlike other programs, Traffic Swarm does allow you to earn credits (displays for your link) by performing activities other than just recruiting other people. This gives other types of web sites an equal opportunity to earn credits for their site as well.
Nevertheless, it's free so you have nothing to lose! Click here to join Traffic Swarm today!
