Following
optimization, (once the revised site is live), all of your site’s main pages
that contain the meta tags need to be manually submitted to search engines (up to 150 worldwide and
local). Search engine
submission is one of THE most important things you can do
to promote your site. Search engines continue to be the number one way people
find what they’re looking for on the Internet. Failing to submit URL with the most popular search engines is like the “kiss of death” in
cyberspace.
Your website
registration should always include the Top 11 international
search engines and directories. They include:
Yahoo
Google
Fast
/ All The Web

It is estimated
that combined,
the Top 11 search engines receive up
to 90% of all search traffic.

Alta Vista
Netscape
HotBot
Lycos
AOL Search
Open
Directory
Looksmart
MSN
Depending
on your target markets, you should also consider submitting your site to other international
regional search
engines and directories.
In our opinion, there is no better way to jump start traffic to your web
site than URL submission to the Top Eleven listed above.
If you're not
familiar with the submission process, you should leave the submission of your
site to directories such as Yahoo, Open Directory and LookSmart to experts. Why?
Because the way you submit your site to these directories can make or break
their editorial review of your site and your ultimate ranking. SEO companies
generally have a lot of experience choosing the right category for your site and
wording your site description to include as many keywords as possible while
avoiding the possibility of editorial trimming. Like

You may have heard about
companies that use web site submission software that bulk submits to engines, however most search
engines recognize this automated software and so can ignore web site submissions, or
worse, ban future URL submissions from your site. Another disadvantage with web site
submission software is that you don’t have control over your site descriptions
and can’t optimize each submission for each search engine. You should always use a manual process to avoid this. |

To
ensure up to date listings, your site rankings should be monitored each month and where there is a significant drop in rankings,
you should tweak your optimized pages to compensate. If by chance your URL
has disappeared from a search engine's index, your site should be manually re-submitted to the relevant
search engine or directory. You should do this very carefully, so as not to cause your
site any ranking penalties from over-submission.
