Add URL's manually to improve traffic

Whilst some hosting and blogging services do this automatically for you and plenty of other services fight over your custom to submit your site to numerous search engines with a piece of software, the age old trick of submitting it manually is what you should do if you honestly care about your website or blog.

The search engine battle of the mid to late 90s is no more and the majority of English speaking sites have given in to MSN, Yahoo, AOL and of course google. Many of the old sites ust use results from the main 4 and there's no longer any need to submit your site to them if it is even possible. Blog Directories on the other hand are quite the opposite and another post wll cover that topic seperately.

Submit your URL to the following search engines:

Google
Yahoo.com
Msn.com - Livesearch
Comfind.com
Dmoz.org (open directory takes care of AOL searches too)

There are plenty of services that claim to add it to hundreds of search engines but the fact is that most of them are pointless meta search engines which just take info from these major ones.
