 How often should you submit your website to search engines?

Search engine submission does not just mean going to the top several search engines and submitting your URL. URL submission is a critical part of any site maintenance plan. You must submit and resubmit to search engines to ensure that you will get listed and maintain your listing. However, resubmitting your site is a balancing act to avoid being blacklisted for spamming a search engine. Understanding when to resubmit is a key to ensuring you maximize your search engine listing efforts.

If your site does not appear in some listings, before you resubmit, try and understand why your submission failed before you try submitting again. There are a variety of reasons why your site may be dropped or that your submission efforts do not work the first time. One of the more common reasons your site may be rejected is if your site is unavailable. Periodically, some search engines will re-spider your site to make sure it still exists. If your site is unavailable, they may drop you. Every site becomes unavailable occasionally and this may cause your site to be de-listed.

In an attempt to keep search engine results fresh, some search engines favor recent submissions. Sometimes these search engines will drop you from their listings without notifying you. Periodically resubmitting your site may improve your search engine coverage. However, re-submitting with too much frequency may also backfire. Some engines may blacklist your site for spamming them, so you need to be careful.

What is the correct frequency to resubmit? The length of time it takes for your site to be listed varies from search engine to search engine. While on Alta Vista it may take a week for your listing to appear, other search engines such as MSN and AOL may take up to 2 months to display your listing. As a result, resubmitting monthly is a good rule of thumb to ensure you are getting the coverage you expect and that you are not making yourself unwelcome to some of the top engines.

With so many search engines out there it is a good idea to automate this process. One example is Submitter.net by Net Applications. Submitter.net is the best search engine submission tool we’ve seen on the market. Submitter.net will submit your site once a month to over 1500 search engines, announcement services and classifieds for one year. Also, with one click, you can resubmit your site any time you want. For example, if you are updating your site often, they let you resubmit every time you change your site. Every submission produces a detailed report on the results.

Submitter.net also comes with a variety of tools such as a page analyzer, link checker and meta tag generator to help you optimize your search engine placement, and ensure your site submission efforts get the results you are looking for.

Remember, when submitting your website to search engines, getting the frequency right is a critical part of your website maintenance. Too often or not often enough may have a big impact on your overall success.
