First of all, a technique of my own, then some stuff you might want to know BEFORE submitting your website using automated services like 123Submit!
This is a technique I like to call "backlinking".
I used it on a net website directory in the past, it worked incredibly.
And it's so easy to do! (Especially if you run a website directory like me!!)
The easiest way to backlink is to provide a forum to go along with your website. Forums are not very consuming of webspace, and best of all get you traffic. Make your forum technology MyBB. Why? In a test I ran, MyBB was the most search engine friendly. Include a section on your forum where users can advertise their site, get it reviewed etc. Get some members to do this. Now, submit your site to some search engines. The spiders will go to your forums first, and index the links that your members advertised. Not only will it index those, but will increase your own search engine traffic. Trust me, after time, it will accumulate.
Now, what you've been waiting for, why NOT to use those automated services!
Sites like 123Submit say that for free they'll submit your site to 20+ search engines. For money, they'll submit it to more. Trust me, you're throwing your money and time away. See, I tested these services, and not ONE single bot visited my site. I submitted once a month, still, nothing. I submitted normally, still nothing. And I mean, this site was awesomely designed. Finally, after 3 months, Google started giving me traffic.
So tell me, is it really worth your money?Submit it yourself! That's what I did with x2Forums, my old forum host, and I get like 1000 hits/day!
