Web site Submission Is your site ready?  While a web site is always a work in progress and never completely "done," you should wait until all your present pages are finished and make sure there are no dead links before submitting. If your website is ready to submit to the search engines you basically have 3 options.   You can hand submit all your pages to the search engines. You can hire an online submission service. You can buy software such as Web Position Gold to submit the site and keep track of it for you.    This Award winning software suite that includes powerful tools to help you submit your pages to the search engines with ease and create detailed reports on the positioning of your pages.

Should I hand submit my website or buy web submission software?

The big problem with all submission software is that they don't tell you the polices of each search engine such as how many pages you can submit and how often.  These policies change often and if you do not follow each engines rules you run the risk of being banned.  While some of do a good job of  keeping up with submission rule changes, you are the one that suffers if your website is banned.

Some search engines even ban web sites submitted with certain submission software because the software is often used as a tool for spamming.  One software that seems to have found a way around this is Site Build It.  It simulates hand submission and checks to see if your site has been spidered without being flagged as a spam tool. Site Build It is more than just a submission software.

This is what Ken Evoy of SiteSell says about it.  Now it is quick and easy anyone (from savvy pro to complete newbie) to build a professional, popular, and profitable Web site... a site that attracts warm, willing-to-buy visitors.

Site Build It! takes care of all the technology and complexity of building and marketing your Web site... from brainstorming to domain name to hosting, from graphic design to Search Engine submission and optimization, from traffic analysis to e-zine publishing.

According to Sitesell a recent survey by Audette Media showed that over 80% of web professionals submit  their web sites directly by hand.

Even if you plan to use a submission software or an online service there is good reason to hand submit your first site.  It is helpful if you learn the process so you know what is going on.  After that you just have to weigh the negatives of the other two methods against the time they can save you.

If you have never submitted a website here is a free course...

Should I hire an online submission service?

There are some advantages to online submission services.  The biggest being that many of them have become experts at what they do. 

If you are new and plan to do your own submission you can benefit from starting with a good submission service just to observe what they do and learn from it.  This can give you two benefits.  You end up with a web site optimized and submitted correctly and you learn from the very best through observation.

Here is what a good submission service should do.

• Determine your exact needs by reviewing your site, your business, and your competition.

• Research and select the most effective keywords for your site to bring in targeted traffic.  This should be fully supported by extensive research on which phrases and words are going to generate the greatest number of hits for your site giving you a long-term strategy.

• Help with optimizing your site, creating pages that get you top positions in the search engines. A good submission service know what each search engine wants.

There are hundreds if not thousands of these services.  I highly recommend 1stsearchranking.

One thing to keep in mind is that most of these services simply use web site submission software such as Web Position Gold. 

Web Position Gold is the industry leading search engine optimization software. It combines all of the following features designed to launch your Web site to the top of the search engine results as it...

• Generates HTML pages designed to take your site to the top of the search engine rankings.

A good strategy is to use a service such as 1stsearchranking to see what they do, then buy the Web Submission and Positioning software yourself.  Many of them got started this way and you can do the same. In fact Web Position Gold will even make reports in your name that you can show your customers.
