I really don't believe in any of that paid search engine submission stuff. It's really just a scam if you ask me. There are certain things they can do to help you get youre site listed and ranked up there, but I don't think they can really just get you ranked number one just like that. That site you mentioned (
www.getfoundonsearchengines.com ) claims they'll get you ranked top 3 on all major search engines. But the question is what does that mean?? :D
What I think it means is that they'll get you ranked top three for certain key words. So for an example say you had the website snowboardgurus.com, they would probably get you ranked in the top three for the key words "Snowboard gurus." So when somedoby searches for snowboard gurus you would be right there at the top. And who's going to search for them keywords? lol probably someone, but not as many people as you'd like. So you see how it is just a big scam?? lol
You can easily get a site ranked on top for certain key words.
Go to
http://www.google.com and search for "design talk" and you'll see what I'm talking about. :D
But then again how many people are going to enter design talk into a search engine? lol probably not that many. It would be much much harder if not impossilbe to get it ranked number one for the key words Web Design whether you're paying or not.
Okay now say for another example you have a web hosting company with the domain webwebwebwebwebwebhosting.com and you pay them to give you top three ranks in all major search engines.
Do you think they'll be able to provide you with these ranks for the key words "web hosting" ........ I don't think so. :D
IMHO stay away from search engine submision companies that say give us your money we'll get you ranked number one.
Search engine optimization services can be a different story though. :D
And for google rankings here's some info on that:
