Organic Search Marketing FAQs

Do you manually submit to search engines and directories or do you use automated software?

First of all there is no need to ever submit to the top four search engines which currently are Google, Yahoo, MSN and Ask. While the first three have "Add URL" forms (Ask does not), it is not their preferred method of finding new sites. They would much rather come across a new site via a hyperlink on another site that is already included in their index, thus the reason why we submit to directories.

As for smaller search engines and directories, we feel it is very important to manually submit your site. Many search engines refuse submissions from software programs all together which is why we choose to manually submit. Additionally, most directories require that categories be selected within their structure before a site is submitted. No automated program that we are aware of can do that effectively.
