Submitting Your Website URL to Search Engines
Search engine submission does not just mean going to the top several search engines and submitting your website URL. Website URL submission is a critical part of any site maintenance plan. You
must submit and resubmit to search engines to ensure that you get listed and maintain your listing. However, resubmitting your site is a balancing act to avoid being blacklisted for spamming a
search engine. Understanding when to resubmit is a key to ensuring you maximize your search engine listing efforts.
If your site does not appear in some listings, before you resubmit, try and understand why your submission failed before you try submitting again. There are a variety of reasons why your site
may be dropped or that your submission efforts do not work the first time. One of the more common reasons your site may be rejected is if your site is unavailable. Periodically, some search engines
will re-spider your site to make sure it still exists. If your site is unavailable, they may drop you. Every site becomes unavailable occasionally and this may cause your site to be de-listed.
In an attempt to keep search engine results fresh, some search engines favor recent submissions. Sometimes these search engines will drop you from their listings without notifying you. Periodically
resubmitting your site may improve your search engine coverage. However, re-submitting with too much frequency may also backfire. Some engines may blacklist your site for spamming them, so you
need to be careful.
What is the correct frequency to resubmit? The length of time it takes for your site to be listed varies from search engine to search engine. While on Alta Vista it may take a week for your listing
to appear, other search engines such as MSN and AOL may take up to 2 months to display your listing. As a result, resubmitting monthly is a good rule of thumb to ensure you are getting the coverage
you expect and that you are not making yourself unwelcome to some of the top engines.
