How Often Should I Submit?
As a rule you will only want to resubmit
your Web site each time you update or change it and only if
you are not ranking well. The search engines will not be instantly
aware of the changes you made to your Web site. Therefore,
you will generally want to tell the engine about your changed
pages by re-submitting them. You can go to each search engine
and individually submit each of your pages, or you can use
WebPosition Gold's Submitter to create Missions to do it automatically.
Unfortunately, there are pitfalls to submitting
since each engine has their own set of rules and submission
limits. Unlike many other submission products and services,
WebPosition will try to warn you about known limits so you
can avoid being penalized or having your submission ignored.
If you try to submit too many pages at once, WebPosition will
prompt you and suggest submitting only some of the URLs for
that day. Surprisingly, the engines penalize for exceeding
these limits but rarely ever warn the Webmaster if they exceed
them.
Also, resubmitting before the engine has
had time to index your page is not necessary. After submitting,
it will take anywhere from a couple of days to months for
your submission to be integrated into their database (i.e.,
indexed), and for your ranking to change. The amount of time
varies for each search engine. The WebPosition submission
report generated after you submit will give you estimated
times for each engine so you know what to expect.
Regarding directories such as Yahoo, you
will never need to resubmit unless the content of your Web
site changes significantly or the description they chose for
your listing is not accurate. The method to update or change
your listing on a directory will vary. See the Directory Submission
Guide of WebPosition's Submitter for details.
