Submit to the Top Dozen:

Researches have shown that the twelve largest sites are responsible for over 95% of all Internet search traffic. What does this mean to you? It means quite simply that submitting to hundreds or thousands of search engines is a complete waste of time. If you really want to waste your time submitting to all these search engines, you can go to computer store (Tucows, for example) and buy software that will do the exact same thing that submission companies do. In about an hour or so, you can have your site submitted to 1,500 search engines. Don't hold your breath waiting for traffic though, because it's not going to happen with this method. Why not? The search engines are overloaded with submissions. Experts (Cyveillance) estimate that there are now over 2100 million pages on the Web, yet the largest search engine databases only have about 250 million pages in their indexes. What does this mean? It means that most submissions are ignored and those that are accepted will probably not end up anywhere near the top. There are over a million companies with Web sites and every one of them wants to be at the top of the search engine rankings for their particular categories and keywords. Obviously not every company can be at the top. It takes skill, knowledge and a lot of hard work to achieve top search engine rankings. You can submit your site all day long, and at the end of the day, week, or month, you'll be nearly where you started. Why do YOU need top search engine ranking? Because if every who goes to search with the search engine on your keywords and doesn't see your URL in some first pages then he or she doesn't see your URL at all. Check it - try to search anything!
