Submission scams By Clare Lawrence 19th August 2004

Submit your site to 1,000,000 search engines and directories for $19.99. Sounds too good to be true. Well it is! 90% of submissions sites are a waste of money.

It’s a common fallacy that you need to submit your site to search engines on a regular basis.

Once your site is part of an index such as Google there is no need to re-submit.

If only part of your site is listed, then check your navigation structure and consider adding a sitemap.
