Most websites already have a search engine ranking for every relevant keyword, even if they haven’t done any search engine optimization. It’s just not necessarily a decent ranking. These companies won’t tend to benefit as much from search engine submission. Becoming a well-ranked website requires making improvements to the site as well as other types of SEO-activities, but already being ranked means submitting to site to search engines won’t tend to gain them very much.
On the other hand, there certainly can be value to submitting a brand new website to Google, Bing, and Yahoo. The basics of search-engine friendly website design can dramatically increase the effectiveness of this routine and easy strategy. Once a new website has been submitted to a search engine, the search engine’s bots or web crawlers immediately begin to attempt to index the site. Because they will crawl through the entire site if given even just the homepage, a website that has been optimized to have a properly organized wireframe and easy-to-index pages will not only achieve fuller exposure to the bots, it will get indexed faster. Optimizing pages and the site so they are fully catalogued and organized to best prioritized the intended keywords directly impacts search ranking, while getting indexed faster just means the site will gain its new search ranking more quickly.
This set of benefits emphasizes the point that it’s actually the quality of the website design aspects of SEO that matter far more for search ranking than actual search engine submission. In fact, there are actually other ways to get a site and new pages on it noticed again by search engines that synergize well with general SEO, and these are a better investment for the most part. For example, submitting a site to relevant, high-quality directories will generate linkbanks that not only get a company’s site noticed by search engines and generate their own traffic, but also improve its search ranking for the keywords that linkbacks target. Generating quality content on the site that can encourage linking by readers or can be farmed out to content sites for backlinks serves a similar purpose. These both take more time and thus cost more, but they offer a better payoff in terms of improved ranking and are effective for new and old websites.
Search engine submission can be a valuable early step in some SEO campaigns. But for the most part, search engine’s crawlers have become sophisticated enough that it isn’t really relevant any more, especially when held up against more complex, involved, and effective strategies that experienced SEO firms can put to use.
