There are so many free sites out there that automatically submits your site to hundreds of directories and search engines. Obviously, it can't be good if you use more than one of these, because Google will probably pick up that you submitted too many times and penalize you.

So, if I want to use only one site to submit to multiple directories and search engines, which one is the best?

I read about submit express. Anyone know if this is any good, or are they all the same?

    What would happen if I submit to too many sites? Would I get penalized or what? How can you do this safely without submitting to every site manually?

    Thanks alot.

    The best way to get indexed by Google is through backlinks.. they will index you a lot faster too and give you a higher rank because each quality backlink counts as a 'vote' for your site.

    Submitting it yourself is a last resort in my book.

    I wouldn't really bother with search engine submission at all, since the major search engines that people actually use will pick up on your site being there without actually having been submitted. However, directory submission is something that I would definitely recommend. I hire people to do it for me, because it honestly isn't really worth your time with the deals that people offer.

    Well Google won't penalize you just because of dup contents. Google will just filter out the dup contents and display the "best" result.

      Yes do manual submission to directory sites and but only those which are oh higher value as now low value directory sites are not worthy.

      Also if possible submit on a daily basis but not too much.Just figure out the number for yourself for me its 30-50 on daily basis.

    I heard that directory submission is not valued as much anymore. I've tried Fast Directory Submitter and that works pretty well because you can do it manually or semi automated. It also provides PR rank of each directory. I would focus on link exchanges (2 way or even better 3 way).

        I found 2 more best and easy ways to submit your site to search engines.

        1-Most of the directory list you will get contains mix of all quality sites..
        Make ensure that the directory you are submitting is good one, check their PR. If you are submitting then submit to the relevant category.

        Go to the submitting page of the search engine and submit as appropriate as possible.

        If your website is of good quality and your link building strategy also nice, then it is easy for you to get indexed.

        2-You can search for keyword phrases like "free directory submissions list" and you would surely find a big list and from there you can choose the directories you wish to submit to. Sam can be done for submitting to search engines.

        Manual submissions is quite time taking and if you don't have the time you could take the services of a SEO company who will submit your website to directories and search engines for a nominal fee.

    • Directory submission is not as important as it once was. If you want to use this technique, then you should manually submit your website to high Page Rank directories. Look for directories that offer one way links, as well as for niche directories and business directories.

    Hi Bertseung,
    Yes there is some corrections will be done after Google updates. i.e Over submissions will be affected for this google considered as a spammy. So now we are doing low submissions with good pr sites with unique content. For example if we are doing Article submission we can submit into only one particular good pr site. For second site we can take another new article like that work goeson..This is the right way of Off-page optimization otherwise Google will punish as a spammy.
