Search Engine Submission Services

Now that your site is nicely optimised for the search engines, its time to start submitting your URL to them. I strongly suggest that you do this process by hand, and do not use automated software packages, as some search engines will penalise your site for this.

If your site contains quality content, is relevant to searchers, and has a solid linking structure, you could be included in these search engines within six to ten weeks. None of these free submission pages guarantees that your site will be included. If you do not show up within eight to ten weeks, you can resubmit your website again.
