Engine Submission
Listing your Website on the UK's most popular
search engines & directories
In the good old days, search engine submission
was free for commercial Websites. With a popularity contest to attract
Internet users, search engine companies were desperate to include
your details.
Now, after years of heavy investment with little
or no financial return, the search engine establishment are no longer
quite so generous. With the exception of Google™, almost all top
UK search engines now charge for submission.

Although
most search engine spiders should eventually pick up and index
your content, particularly if you're listed with Google, paid
submission will expedite the process.
For example, the Yahoo! Directory currently
charge commercial Websites $299pa. In return, a human editor
will review your site within 7 days and list it in the most
appropriate category, subject to approval.

Mergers and acquisitions are common in
the search engine industry so the submission process for each
engine tends to change frequently.
Automatic submission tools are popular
although their effectiveness is debatable as they often struggle
to keep up with the market. The safest way to guarantee inclusion
is to visit each of the top search engines and directories
to individually submit your details.
