A Balanced Submission Plan
The key is to strike a balance between free and paid programs that yield maximum ROI. You should submit your website to all the free search engines such as Google, AltaVista, and WebCrawler, at least one paid search engine such as PositionTech.com ($89 for submission of 3 URLs), and Yahoo Directory ($299 a year). Apart from these, you should think of submitting your website to a couple of “paid participation” or “paid placement” programs such as Google Adwords and Overture, which are discussed later.
Google is probably the most widely used web crawler search engine. One way of letting Google automatically detect and include your web page URL is as discussed in the above paragraph. Submission to Google through its free listing program can be done using the Add URL form available at http://www.google.com/addurl.html
Having mentioned that, there is no guarantee that Google would include a web page submitted to it by either of the free methods. Also, it might take as long as a month before Google lists your web pages.
Google has advertising program called “Adwords” that offers you a combination of paid listing and positioning of your pages in search results.
Paid listings in Google appear above and to the side of its regular results. These are discussed in detail in the section on Paid Placement programs. Google allows maximum 5 to 10 web pages from a website to be submitted per day.
