Submiting Website URL's To Search Engines

This week a client asked me an interesting question about submitting URLs of websites to major search engines. Specifically whether or not it was important to do it or if submitting had become a redundant task in the modern day.

I think the short answer to this important question is that technically you don't have to submit your URL as the spider (or locator) search engine programs will ultimately after it is propagated up on to the net, will find your site and list it appropriately.

However let me also add this that if you do submit it manually to each of the main search engines including Google, Ask, Bing, Yahoo, etc. the process will be quicker.
As well it is always advisable to do so if you are adding pages to your website that you want indexed for the search engine.

There is no doubt also that if you have a large website with potentially dozens or even hundreds of pages, it is also very important to provide a site map using webmaster tools to aid the search engine spider to better understand exactly what each page is and how it all links together with all the other pages on your site.

So in the end the answer is you don't have to submit it, but there is some upside if you do.

Until next time. Good marketing and good luck.
