After creating a website people think that how to submit the website to Search Engines. There are only two ways to submit to search engines, manually or use automatic software. An Automated submission software can save you a lot of time as the details of the website needed to be entered only once, and from there the website will be submitted automatically to search engines. But, while submitting website manually you requires to do everything from research to submission by yourself.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of both the methods?
Automatic submission software:
• Banned by a lot of major search engines – Some of the major search engines ban websites that are using automatic submission software as this is part of their spam management
• Loss of control over the description of your website – Automated submission will choose the best category for your website without asking for your permission. If you pre-define the category as ‘health supplements’ and this category is not available, the software may choose ‘others’ for your website
• Ability of optimization – You lose the ability to optimize each submission according to the requirements set by each search engine
• Saves your plenty of time as you only need to enter the information required for website submission once and the software will do the next steps for you, especially when you need to re-submit for a couple of times
Manual submission:
• You can submit the your website in the appropriate category
• You will know what are the requirements of each of the search engines or directories for example what they allow to be included in your website
• Safe because it is the only website submission method which search engines and directories approves
• The only submission method accepted by directories as they require unique information to your website
• If there are any changes to the requirements for submission, you will be able to spot them and respond to the changes, something that robot can’t do
It is better & recommended to submit your website manually specially when you are submitting to directory sites such as Yahoo, Open Directory, Looksmart or Snap. Manual submission will take more of your time, but it is worth it as some search engines and many directories have banned websites using automated submitting software. You may save plenty of time by paying a small fee for automated software, but there are other disadvantages that you must think of.
