Search engine submission scripts

[slantednet]

Hello all,

I hope this is the right forum to ask this, if not, please move it where it should be.

I'm looking for a search engine submission script (or app, script preferable) that will auto submit my list of domains to various search engines, classifieds, and FFA directories. I've seen a bunch out there from googling, but I would like to know if any of you use these and if so, what you can recommend.

I'm not as concerned about the size of the submission database (the sites that it submits to) but a large enough pre-set one would be great, I'm more concerned with extensibility (to add new engines, classifieds, and FFA's).

Anything ya'll can recommend, either free or commercial, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for that, tolkein. I was hoping for an actual script that I have control over, not a website to submit to. I'm looking for a little more flexibility on my submissions, automation, etc... without the huge recurring fees that most submission sites charge.

Any other ideas?

The major search engines pick up your site through organic links. They find links to your site and reach it from there. Submitting to those sites makes little difference, if at all. Search engines that still rely on user submissions and not on their own crawlers are usually small and insignifcant.

The main problem with auto-submit scripts IMHO is that you could end up getting your site banned by some serious search engine for submitting too often (in other words, spamming the search engine submit page).

Anat: Yes, the major search engines pick you up through organic links and the fastest way to get an organic link is through site submission to established directories. After that, you can go and do the manual (and often slow process) of link building/exchange.

freesubmit.org was picked up by MSN in just 1 week using the very same script. Here's the rankings after 1 week (without quotes):

"free submit search engine" - 5
"free submit url" - 12
"free search engine submission" - 52
