I am having a hard time with the concept of paying to submit your site to the search engines. Really, there is only a few search engines that have any amount of traffic to them. Google, Yahoo, and MSN are the only ones that really matters. Bing is too new to be much of a concern at this point. Since people do not like change, I doubt that many people will switch to it anytime soon. Nothing like entrenching habits with everyday software that people use, like Google.

I run into agents here and there that pay hundreds per month to submit their sites to the search engines, what a waste of money. Once you submit your site or the search engines find your site, they will come back to index it again. I have serious doubts that if you submit the site every month the search engines will come back sooner than they already will or it will make your site any more desirable than it already is.

It makes me wonder if the SEO companies that charges monthly fees to submit your sites every month, actually submit the sites or do they just collect the money since they know the search engine spider software will come back through like clock work.

Here are some FREE ways to submit your sites to the search engines.
