Search Engine Submission – Mostly Pointless

15 07 2008

Google has over 80% of the UK search market share, with Yahoo and MSN picking up the scraps. You can submit your website to google using their handy webmaster tools – a practice we both use and recommend.

Companies that offer submission to ‘Over 100 Search Engines!’ however are pulling your leg. Yes, we’re sure they really do submit your site to over 100 search engines, but how many of those search engines will get you traffic? How many are even based in the UK? Mass submission is simply not worth the effort and since it’s done by automation, not worth the (invariably large) fee.
