I can guarantee you that the add URL feature on google is just for show. Since the search engines started, %90 + of all sites submitted to them are spam. I can validate this from being an editor at DMOZ. The reason google is the #1 search engine on the planet is because they can filter out spam. They do this by ranking sites based on their popularity and content, not by submissions. Again, the newsletters at EVOLT are, or at one time, were crawled, and provide an avenue for being listed.
