Business Website URL Submission
Discussion
Has anybody had any immediately measurable success with the many free or paid for URL submission services you can find on the internet claiming to submit to multiple search engines? And does Yahoo really want £199 for a business URL or is there another way in?
I went on a day's course last year and they said some of the key search engines will penalise you via your ranking if they are bombarded with submissions from such companies.

Overture do the sponsored ads on yahoo, etc.
Google have there own ads software. very easy to control your advertising and budget online.
I know its not what your after, but you will find the major engines are pushing paid advertising rather than search links. And you can gaurantee to be in the top 5.

I have had pretty good successes in teh past with a 3rd party supplier I use for clients, used to be circa £200 but now up to circa £400.
It is all pretty subjective though, we could get you good success on a search for something really obscure like, Depth of tyre tread on Wokingham TVR, as you would undoubtedly be the only one with those criteria, but with just, TVR, for example that would return loads of returns. Its all about knowing how people would search for you and building your search criteria around that.
And keep on submitting your site every month.
Certain search engines will bar sites which are submitted via software, as they recognise this and bar you. You can manually submit the site yourself to most of the majors to save you money, but do get the coding right so you do get picked up.
Drop me a mail via my profile if you need and I can give you some advise or point you to companies which specialise in these services, but whether it is worth you pennies paying for this is debatable in my mind.

I've looked at these 'pay for click' through schemes before, and have even advised against them for various reasons in respect of my customer and effective use of budget, rather than qulaity of service and response rate.
I read through my previous message and hope i didn't give a negative response regarding these services, as I have no hands on experience, I am unqualified for such remarks. But as i said before you knowledge in this area would be great for me.
Would I be able to ask you what you web site is? I assume you are a sales driven site? If you would prefer not to post info here I understand, if you prefer you can mail me direct at dave@vingtquatre.net

Have good experience from both google adwords and kanoodle.com or is that kandoodle.com?? and basically established a new business off the back of this alone.
Fortunately the sector that we are in has few people competing for keywords and so is cheap to get a top ranking which massively affects click through rates. Once looked at car finance related keywords and under some searches was going to need to pay £2+ for a click through!
If you are going to do adwords style advertising, play around with the wording in your links- we doubled click through rates in some cases by adjusting ad link to reflect a particular keyword search. Beware though monitoring them can be addictive.
God that last comment makes me sound really sad!

We use overture and ad-words.
Our main advertising goes on overture and quicky campaigns and special offers vie ad-words as we find ad-words far too expensive to use for everything.
To be honest our most effective advertising is via affiliate programs
