Hello, I had talked to someone at another SEO firm once before and he had mentioned that one of their services was submitting to search engines (the same one over and over) regularly to help keep a site at the top of the SERPs. I think this guy does not know what the heck he is talking about.. What do you guys think? - JacobI agree. He dosn't know what he is talking about.Yeah, I don't even submit my sites to search engines ONCE, let alone over and over.If the search engines can't pick my sites up all by themselves, then there's something wrong with my site that I need to fix! Search engines are people too.Think about it, how many times have you heard someone say they enjoy their kids constantly poking at them saying "Hey ! Look what I can do !" ? Or their employees constantly comming in & saying "I used my timecard today" ?Then again, search engines seem to think they're super heros.I am sure he knows what he is talking about " still the biggest SE myth " which SEOs make easy money from it.Submit your site to 1000s of search engines only for $.. This has not any benefits but probably will cause your sites banned from several search engines.He's talking about submitting the same link to the same search engine lots of times.Even people who know nothing about SEO should figure out that this is pointless, even damaging, just by using common sense.I agree. I do not believe it would help to submit to a search engine regularly, but I am always triing to better my operation and am willing to try a few new things. Thank you all for your input, JacobI have a question.Why do hosting companies like Network Solutions offer as part of their hosting package a service where they submit your site once a month to the same search engine companies?Also, some submission software actually recommends you submit your site on a regular basis, why?They do it so they can get more money from uneducated customers with too much money to spend.If your domain is already indexed then do not submit again! This could hurt your rankings if you're spamming your site to the SE's.I heard it hurts you as well. But it depends on the SE. I heard specifically that google doesnt like that.ethan wrote:Hi I agree submitting the site multiple times will not helpI tried adding the google site map. Anyone has a good (or bad)experience with it ?Yeah, I've got good experiences with it...It still takes about the same amount of time from google discovering your URL exists and it actually being useful in the searches.The main benefit though, is that it finds all those URLs faster. So in 3-4 months, many many more of your pages are fully indexed and coming up in SERPs.On one of my sites now, Google has caught up. Most all the URLs on the site are fully indexed and coming up in SERPs, and whenever I add a new article (it's not a daily news site or blog or anything, the homepage content changes maybe every 3-5 days), I'm getting search engine referrals within a week usually. Never longer than 10 days.On one of my other sites, that started up with about 50,000 URLs from day one (basically, it was a complete site restructuring. All the old URLs had to be 301 redirected, new URLs had to be sitemapped, etc) it's still taking time for Google to index all the info, and new pages are being added about as much as you'd expect if you didn't have a sitemap (because Google still does the "natural" crawl, as a kind of backup I guess, even if you have a sitemap).hi,Some search engines require you to resubmit...but they are crappy ones.the 3 kings google, msn, yahoo just keep visiting your site until it gets banned.
