Let's look at a typical submission scenario to get thebig picture.You submit your site either automatically or byhand, then you wait a few weeks. If the search spiderlikes what it sees, it adds your site to the list. If not, it simply ignores your site. We've all heardstories of engines, for example, penalizing a sitebecause its on a free host. *Free* search engines had previously profited from significant advertising revenue. However, for many reasons which we shall not go into here, the advertising market crashed, carrying with it the revenues of the sites which depended on advertisingincome.With the fall off in advertising revenues they jealously regarded the success of the pay per click search engine models.A transition then gradually took place, with the freesearch engines now either requiring:a:) Payment for listingb:) A customized interpretation of the pay per click modelTransitions are never usually easy and fraught with sundry hiccups.

With this option, you write your article, add yourresource box at the end of the article, make sure toinclude your website address and submit your articlesto the various article announcement sites.If a site likes your article it may be archived on theirwebsite and the search engine spiders will pick up thelink,which will also have the added benefit of *relevant content* If your article is carried by a lot of newsletters andwebsites, you will also have increased "link popularity"which will boost your site's ranking.
