Don't use Automated Search Engine Submission Software

There are many software products and programs out there that tout automated search engine submission. In fact one of the first things people new to online marketing find is online is automated search engine submission software.

The selling point usually indicates that using automated submission software will help you rank higher and make your site more visible. This is very very mis leading.

If your site is already listed or indexed in the search engines then there is absolutely no need to submit your site what so ever. You can check if your site is indexed simply by typing in the address in a search engine and seeing if it finds your site.

Most search engines have quite strict guidelines and terms of service regarding automated submission. In general using automated submission software is in violation of the terms of service and could potentially get your site banned!

You really have to question the authenticity and authority of online marketing software that aims to get your site ranked by violating fundamental search engine guidlines.
