thanks for the article. just to add the power of dmoz which is very valuable for the page rank.

dmoz.com is the adress and the submision is free but it usually takes a long time to get listed. at least for greek pages!

So true. It’s a complete wast of time to submit your link to site with a low PR anyway. If it’s not 8 or above then your link is not even going to get picked up on google. If you have ever tried submitting to hundreds of search engines, try typing “link: http://yoururl” into google search and I bet you wont have anywhere near the amount of links you submitted.

I agree with this post – if you go to places like these to do your own internet marketing (by spamming your site), it’s quite possible your site can be blacklisted by google and other search engines!

Link exchanges and great fresh content are proven ways to increase your PR.

Good tips for anyone starting out. The point of getting links from already indexed sites is certainly the best way to grow traffic. Starting a blog can have pages indexed in just a few hours if linked well. No need to submit it even.

I purchased GoDaddy’s traffic blazer. What a waste. They submit to a hand-full of sites automatically and then they have a gazillion sites you can submit to manually. Many of them are directories that require reciprocal links and some require money to be listed. My time would be better spend building links or relationship on social networks.

I am interested to know, however, if being listed in the Yahoo Directory makes a difference. It’s quite a big price tag. Also, does DMOZ listing actually make a difference (in your Google and Yahoo rank)?

Thanks a lot for this info. I just submitted to yahoo as I didn’t know why my site was getting ranked high compared to google and msn.

In my opinion the best way to get a site recognized by the search engines, and get a quick boost in the SERPS right off the bat is join a few of the big social bookmarks sites (Stumbleupon, digg, furl, reddit) and bookmark your site. Then add your site to google bookmarks, and my yahoo.

Your page should be indexed and searchable by the main search engine withing a few hours to a few days.

Submit website to all search engines, yes that is waste of time, just submit to major search engines is enough.
