Best traffic comes from search engines, as it’s a free source of traffic that’ll get you costumers which are looking for something you’re providing. Having your website on the search engines can be, however, pretty hard.

Some companies are using this to create services (paid services, that is), which will submit your website to search engines for a fee.

There are 2 things you need to consider here:
1. Most search engine traffic comes from a couple of websites – There are hundreds if not thousands of search engines out there, but most traffic will come from only a couple of them (Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc.), so submitting to hundreds of search engines will not get you a significant amount of traffic increase.

2. Sometimes search engines de-index your pages – This means that from time to time you’ll have to re-submit your website.

Now, you may think: are these submission services worth it? This is something that will depend. Search engine’s robots will crawl your website from time to time and if there are enough backlinks (links from other websites to your own website), you get indexed. The more backlinks you have, the better ranking you’ll get.

There are innumerous techniques of getting backlinks, but you should always aim for quality. Links from high ranked websites will get you more ‘points’ to the search engine ranking.

The question remains: is it worth it to get other to submit the websites? Is it even worth it to submit the websites yourself? If your website is SEO (Search Engine Optimized), then you shouldn’t need that, as you should start ranking up with no need to pay extra. However, if you’re struggling to get your website on search engines (not ranking high, just on the search engines), you should give it a try.
