Digirunt Posted July 13, 2003 Posted July 13, 2003 I recently followed some online advice [i know before you tell me ] and submitted my site to World Wide Promoter [enable popup stopper or whatever you've got] and as advertised I got listed on a whole load of search engines very quickly, I also recieved 123 junk emails, . Thats right. . . suprised my server didn't spot something with that quantity flying to me at once. Anyone planning on doing the same be warned and use an unimportant email address. I need to keep the address active because they validate it weekly. Oh no! Head Bash But I have since recieved confirmations from most of the sites [google, yahoo, altavista, alltheweb, blh blah blah. . .] saying my site has been submitted so if you can tolerate the SPAM its a useful tool.

TCH-Sales Posted July 13, 2003 Posted July 13, 2003 I hate to be the one to bring bad news, but you can pretty much do the same thing via your CPanel account with no Spam at all! Just go to Site Management, and under that look for "Search Engine Submit" and there you go.. Quote
Digirunt Posted July 14, 2003 Author Posted July 14, 2003 Just checked it out ~ ~ ~ does all I need. Cool. I'm recieving 2-3 emails every half hour at the moment from the other one. I wonder how long before my inbox database exceeds my hard drive space? I think that emails going to have to go. Thanks cerealkeeler Rock Sign Quote
TCH-Don Posted July 14, 2003 Posted July 14, 2003 Did you use a new address for this? you can filter for it if so, Capnel email forward address> :blackhole: Quote
Digirunt Posted July 14, 2003 Author Posted July 14, 2003 Thanks for the tip, should be ok tho, I always keep a few spare emails on the go for sites that look like hey might be spammy. Guessed right this time. Just deleted email account. spam123456@ukonline.co.uk Quote
TCH-Don Posted July 14, 2003 Posted July 14, 2003 Good! I make up onw for the occasion like YesIwantToWinAmillionDollarsInYourContest@mysite.com Quote
SEO Posted July 14, 2003 Posted July 14, 2003 I do not recommend any automated submission service or software. It actually can be very dangerous... provoke spamming filters which can result in penalty or all out removal from index. Just go to Site Management, and under that look for "Search Engine Submit" and there you go. This includes use of cPanel's 'Search Engine Submit'. This subject has been addressed in our site's search engine optimization pages under search engine submission. Quote
Digirunt Posted July 14, 2003 Author Posted July 14, 2003 Those tips are great, I've tried to put some body text on my homepage rather than just links and I've revised my keywords to be more specific. I've applied to be part of the family as well as I know it will help with inbound links. Thanks for all the tips Rock Sign Quote
