[thelist] Re: Submitting to Search Engines

[Cayley Vos]

Submitting to search engines is actually an oxymoronic statement - you can
submit to directories such as yahoo and dmoz, but true search engines
(crawlers, spiders, search bots etc) find you on their own.

The only way to get listed in search engines like google is to have a link
from a site already in their database.  You can submit to their site until
you are blue in the face, and will get nowhere. Worse, it could make them
mad and penalize your site. Links and relationships are the new economy. If
you have no friends you will starve.  Make many friends, associations and
partnerships with similar strong businesses/websites and you will go far.
