If links from the directories bring search engines to my Web site is there any reason to hand submit or use a free or paid search engine submission service?
There is little or no reason to hand submit or use a free or paid search engine submission service. If your Web site is an English language site your main traffic is going to go from Google, Yahoo and MSN. Getting a few link from quality directory’s will bring the search engine spiders to your site with in a week and many times less. My personal opinion of paid search engine submissions is that they are a poor use of resources and those moneys would be better spent on purchasing submissions to quality search engines.
