Top 10 Search Engine Positioning
Mistakes (cont'd)
9) Using Automatic Submission Tools
In order to save time, many people use an automatic submission
software or service to submit their sites to the major search
engines. It is true that submitting your site manually to the search
engines takes a lot of time and that an automatic submission tool
can help you save a lot of time. However, the search engines don't
like automatic submission tools and may ignore your pages if you use
them. In my opinion, the major search engines are simply too
important for you not to spend the time to submit your site manually
to them. In order to speed up the process of submitting your site,
you can use our free submission tool which allows you to submit your
site manually to all the search engines, without having to go to the
"ADD URL" pages of the individual engines. It is available here.

10) Submitting too many pages per day
People often make the mistake of submitting too many pages per day
to the search engines. This often results in the search engines
simply ignoring many of the pages which have been submitted from
that site. Ideally, you should submit no more than 1 page per day to
the search engines. While many search engines accept more than 1
page per day from a particular domain, there are some which only
accept 1 page per day. Hence, by limiting yourself to a maximum of
one page per day, you ensure that you stay within the limits of all
the search engines.
11) Devoting too much time to search engine positioning
Yes - I lied. There's another common mistake that people make when
it comes to search engine optimization - they spend too much time
over it. Sure, search engine placement is the most cost effective
way of driving traffic to your site and you do need to spend some
time every day learning how the search engines work and in
optimizing your site for the search engines. However, you must
remember that search engine optimization is a means to an end for
you - it's not the end in itself. The end is to increase the sales
of your products and services. Hence, apart from trying to improve
your site's position in the search engines, you also need to spend
time on all the other factors which determine the success or the
failure of your web site - the quality of the products and services
that you are selling, the quality of your customer service, and so
on. You may have excellent rankings in the search engines, but if
the quality of your products and services are poor, or if your
customer service leaves a lot to be desired, those high rankings
aren't going to do much good.
