SEO Myths: Submitting Your Site To Search Engines

December 21, 2006 by Michelle Waters 

Elena posts some great ideas for increasing the number of visitors (read: prospects) to your site, and keeping them coming back. The ideas I like best include:

  • Great content (That’s a given, right?!)
  • Add a newsletter
  • Offer freebies
  • Write articles

However, she made a comment at the top of her post that I want to address:

You don’t submit your site to search engines once, and be done with it.

It is not necessary for you to submit your site to search engines — at all. Don’t waste your time. Don’t waste your money for someone else to do it.

Spend your time doing the things I mentioned above (especially) and you’ll automatically appear in the search engines.

Of course, there is more to search engine ranking than just the few things mentioned here, so sign up for SEO Power Up to learn more about what you should do.
