Hello everybody.
I'm new to the seo game, and my web host (iPage) provides an add on service that submits my sites to all the major search engines. (extra $.50 a month or so)
I just got a report back about the submissions. My site was successfully submitted to Google, Yahoo, Canadaone, MSN, Nerdworld, and Walhello. Bing was not mentioned, and the following submissions were unsucessful-Aesop, Alexa, and Splatsearcch. I think this is because I didn't use Meta tags. But I heard Meta tags were useless nowadays.
Are these obscure search engines worth worrying about? Won't they come across it eventually anyway?
Also, I can upgrade for about a dollar a month, and they will send links for me to 30 or so directorys. Does this seem worth messing with?
My sites have original quality content, and I expect to get some backlinks from people who are just interested in the information. My sites are exact keyword match domains, in relatively low competition niches.
Thanks in advance,
Michael
