You may have read about websites offering to submit your website to 100/1K/1Million+ search engines all at the click of a button, or even worse for a small non-negotiable fee!
These are scams DO NOT use them!
The search engines will naturally find your website without you actually having to do anything! However we can speed along the process by using the three major search engine submit tools.
You DO NOT have to submit your website to every search engine you find, as you may be surprised to find out, nearly 90% off all search engines use either Google, Yahoo! MSN Live, Baidu (a major Chinese Search Engine) or Yandex (a major Russian search engine) as their algorithm for organising results.
Even more surprisingly Yahoo! used Google-powered results until Feb 2004. Therefore if you submit your website to the three major English speaking search engines your site will automatically be added to the other English speaking search engines worldwide!
So how do you submit your website to the major search engines?
Visit the URL’s below and simply add your websites URL and voila you have saved yourself that ‘small nominal fee’ some companies were asking for!!
Google – http://www.google.com/addurl/
Yahoo! – https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit
MSN Live – http://search.msn.co.uk/docs/submit.aspx
