Welcome to The Truth About Internet Marketing - Internet Marketing Solution

I am sure that you have seen the search engine submission services that offer to submit your website to thousands of search engines. If you are thinking about using a search engine submission service, don’t waste your time.

Since the main three search engines, Google, Yahoo, and MSN handle over 90% of all searches on the Internet paying someone to submit to any other search engine is a waste of time and money.

You don’t need to submit your site to any of the search engines in the first place because if you setup and optimize your website properly you will be found by the search engines. As a matter of fact, it is the preferred way of being indexed. The only submission that you have to make is to MSN and the only thing that you have to submit is the link to the main page of your website and MSN will do the rest. With Google and Yahoo you don’t need to submit at all.

These submission services also tell you that they will resubmit your website to the search engines monthly. Once your website is indexed the search engines will update your website automatically. There is no reason to do this again. You could be banned from the search engine for spamming or at the very least penalized with a worse position in the index.

What you should be submitting to is directories, article sites, and press release sites, along with updating the content on your website on a regular basis. That’s what will get you indexed and get you a better ranking on the search engine index. Good relevant back links and good updated content are the key ingredients to a good search engine position.

Every time that you add new content to your website or acquire relevant back links to your website will have the search engines crawling your website to check what changes have been made. The more you update the more prominent you will be on the search engines.

One other thing to stay away from is those services that guarantee a first page listing on the search engines. Sounds good on the surface but in reality it’s nothing but a scam. What these services do is select a set of non competitive keyword phrases that can get a first page listing easily. The problem with this is they use phrases that no one is searching for and often use phrases that aren’t relevant to your website. They count on your ignorance in search engine optimization. Anyone can list on the first page of Google for keyword phrases that no one uses.

Getting a good position for a quality keyword or keyword phrase on the search engines takes a lot of work and time. The key is that the more relevant Inlinks and content that you have, the more prominent your website will be on the search engines.
