Is submitting to search engines necessary?

Question

The Search Engines Submission is very old and general task to promote the site and still it is important. However, modern some Search Engines crawls your site automatically from the net and adds it into their databases but all search engines have their own criteria and algorithm to crawl the site. So the search engine submission is very vital part of website promotion. By search engine submission you can increase your site linking and Google and other major search engines crawl the particular page where your site is listed and might be gives it’s as back linking for your site. Coz of back linking increment your sites page rank will increase.
I think search engine and directory submission is necessary part of the web promotion. If your site will list on high ranking page then you will get benefit and your site ranking also goes high.

Hey memetrader,

I think there's a case to be made that site submission to search engines is becoming more important now it has been in the past 5-6 years.

However, instead of submitting a single domain-level url, search engines want "sitemaps" (or url lists) which include everything.

Google's got a python script that reads through a webserver access log and generates a file from this. There's little point in submtting a single url, because if the search engine's spiders couldn't find it, it sure ain't going to show up in the first 3 pages of search results. I think that the point of these sitemaps is collecting 1) all of a site's pages and 2) some of the more obscure pages on a site.

Here's yahoo's "sitemap" upload page:

and of course google's :
https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/

I can't find one for msn.com or ask.com

Just make sure your link is on a good website, PR 4 or higher, the higher the better, and you will automatically get picked up by all of them. Takes about 2 weeks. If you choose to submit to the search engines instead, it takes along time. Maybe 6 or 8 weeks.

"search engine submission is very vital part of website promotion"

No it isn't.

Professional search engine optimizers stopped submitting to search engines 5-6 years ago.

Submitting to directories is another matter http://www.seo-blog.com/directory-links.php
