    Default Submit or Not Submit?

    Okay. I have just got a new domain name for my new forum and I was about to go submit too Google, MSN and Yahoo when I seemed to remember someone here saying not to submit to google and to let the search engines find me instead?

    Is this true? I cant find the thread to check what was said? What would be the benefit of not submitting?

    Cheers for any help.

    It would be better if you submit it to Google, MSN and Yahoo so that they can crawl your site.

    Such conflicting advice. Some people tell me its much better for Google to find you through link banks etc than submitting to them and others say its better to submit your site straight away. Now im very confused

    No no, It isn't correct. Submit it to Google and also use Google Webmaster Tools. If you can also submit SiteMap to Google Webmaster Tools and check out how it will be useful. With waiting you will only make delay in indexing.

    When you submit your website to the search engines, they take forever (sometimes) to crawl your site.
    So, it will be much faster to get indexed if you work on getting links to your site.
    Don't ignore submitting directly to the search engines, but don't count on fast results from that alone.
    And it's not going to hurt you to submit to the search engines. It's just not very effective.
    You'll definitely get indexed much quicker by getting links pointing to you.

    I've found that when you don't submit and let the natural links rank it itself, the initial ranking is much higher than if you submit.

    I dont bother with search engine submission anymore unless it comes free as part of a hosting package.

    I always get a few links and submit a sitemap to google webmaster tools and yahoo site explorer.

    I agree with ZAP. It is best to be found by the bots by building some great links. However, it is also a great idea to submit a site map to Goggle.

    I have found that my home page gets indexed quickly if I build links and they find me naturally. However, they normally fail to index my inner pages. I always wait for the first indexing then I submit my site map and it does not seem to be that long before they pick up all the pages.

    I have no verification to prove this but I have three blogs that I did the same thing with and all of them were indexed quickly.

    I agree with those who say do not submit it to the search engines.

    All you have to do is get one link on any page that is crawled by the search bots and they will find you.

    Submitting to SEs can take weeks or months, getting yourself a link on Ezine Articles, or another site, blog, even a forum link can get your site indexed very quickly.

    I have launched many new websites and had them indexed within a few days just by submitting an article to a place like Ezine Articles or American Chronicle.

    If you are using WordPress for your website the script pings the SEs when you make a post. A lot of sites I have done were with WP and I have seen them get indexed in as little as 1 day but usually 2 or 3.

    You may or may not submit it on SE because some site optimize their sites to indexed faster , because of the internet marketing approach, but some site don't do this, they just wait for the spider to crawl their sites.....just know your priority...

    Yup... Good idea... I agree with you... It is better if you work on getting links to your site. One great way to obtain that is through Social Bookmarking, you'll easily get indexed.

    I wouldn't worry about submitting either, but you should setup a sitemap.xml file and setup google webmaster tools.

    Just adding the site link in your sig here and post for 2 weeks, will get any new site indexed.

    You've got some conflicting replies here, but the majority are saying not bother submitting. My opinion is to not submit, heres why:

    1 - A good link to your site or adding in webmaster tools is all that is needed for Google to find your site.
    2 - Who cares about MSN and Yahoo? The traffic from them is peanuts compared with what Google will send.
    3 - The time spent submitting sites to search engines can be spent better elsewhere - e.g writing new content for your site, promotion or even just drinking a nice cold beer..

    Submitting just to engines alone will not get you good results until the long run when you have a good amount of backlinks from other good pagerank sites.

    I also don't buy the idea of submitting to SEs. They will surely find you naturally if you're ready and visible enough to them...

    Focus on other things instead, like writing a good content, and other stuffs to add on your blog that can really help you get good traffic.

    do not submit your site to any search engine just let them Search your site naturally. because if you are referring your site to search engine then its depend on them when they want to Crawl your site . but if you are generating links for your site then they Will notice your site in very short period

    I generally will run down two paths when I start a new site - get a couple of high quality, relevant links and create an XML sitemap to submit to Google and Yahoo. The links will get your index page listed, and once you get there, the sitemap helps to get the rest of your site crawled.
