I've seen software such as WebPosition Gold and SubmitPro Wolf, but wondering if anyone could recommend any free software? At present I still submit my sites by hand, but also want the option sometimes to just get it done automatically.
So you really are talking about submission software not SEO software. The question is, if you are talking about search engines, why do you submit at all. All the search engines will find and crawl your site from the links they find. If you are talking about paid submission that is a different story but I've never heard of a way to automate this. You would have to give the software your credit card number and tell it to go spend to it's heart's content. Not likely in my experience. And then it sound like you may be resubmitting existing sites. That is a total No! No! If the site is already in the search engine or directory there is never a need, or any benefit from resubmitting. You can only get your site listed once. What possible good can resubmitting do. So don't submit and never resubmit. There I saved you all the trouble of looking for useless software. Oh, did I mention, never submit.
Misohoni, sounds like you want link exchange software. If you've been considering submit wolf pro, you've been looking (as compar mentions above) at search engine/FFA submission software. This sill land you in one place only. An inbox crammed with spam, all of which requires you to mail back to confirm. In simple terms, you might as well submit by hand to the key engines (and directories you can find listed in this forum in another thread) - do so once only. If you're after link exchange software, you might as well go after what's out there and going to prove at all useful. The following has at least some of the things I'd expect in such software, but I've never used/bought it so I can only specultae as to it's effectivenes. It at least comes with a DB of links pages that are PR/Links sorted etc. Try www dot linkexplore dot com. Cheers JL
well, bare minimum, I feel one should submit to dmoz.org.. google seems to catch up from there fast..
dmoz is a directory, not a search engine. I don't think that there's a single search engine that's really worth submitting to. that being said, I'd still submit to EVERY spiderable free directory I can find.
Quoting Google Information for Webmasters: Don't use unauthorized computer programs to submit pages, check rankings, etc. Such programs consume computing resources and violate our terms of service. Google does not recommend the use of products such as WebPosition Goldâ„¢ that send automatic or programmatic queries to Google.
Of course. You have to submit to all directories. But you never need to submit to the search engines. Not even the first time. I haven't submitted a site to a search engine for at least four years and they all get indexed within a few days. A prime example is the site I reported in this thread, http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=13111&postcount=5. It went from domain registration to PR6 in 32 days without ever being submitted.
Hi, I know this thread is discussing submission software, but what if the poster really meant free SEO software. I have used the 30 day free trial versions of WebPositionGold and Internet Business Promoter. I didn't purchase either because I still couldn't see if it was worth the cost. I have used InstantPosition.com which is totally free. What other free tools are available for SEO work? Thanks
I've never found SEO software to be all that useful in my opinion. Use the free tools that compar, mcdar, and others offer.
Thanks, I definately will. Can you tell me where to find the SEO tools that compar and mcdar offer? Thanks again.
What are categorically called "SEO Tools" seem to me to fall into two pretty distinct sorts. The first, and commonest, are tools relating to measuring the effects of SEO work: backlink counters, PR bars, and you know what I mean. Those are all useful, some extremely so, but, again, they are measuring rods. There are also tools intended to actually assist in SEO-augmenting sites. <plug> I have set forth several such on the site SEO Tools, Toys, and Packages . A couple are dropins that can be put on any page to give it often-changing fresh content. Another adds several thousand relevant, daily-changing, no-maintenance pages to any site (dynamic, but mod-rewritten to look static). And there is more, and will be more yet as time goes on. Everything is free. (The "Freebie" page-adding package has just been re-released as v. 0.98, I finally having found the weird thing that was causing problems on a few servers--they buffer PHP output without being asked to; it should now run OK on all servers.) </plug>
Unfortunately I don't really have any SEO tools. But Shawn does at http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/ and McDar does at http://www.mcdar.net/.
I agree with those that say submission software is superfluous. Link exchange s/ware is another story however. Given the importance attached to linking from both a search engine postioning and organic traffic(from link partners' sites) point of view, automating what would otherwise be a tedious process is what computing is all about. Try SEO Elite 3.1 It's getting excelent reviews from users.
Hi, I have tried many seo programs and in my opinion webceo is by far the most complete. The free version lets you track rankings for 5 key word phrases for as many sites as you like. It downloads updates for seachengines changes everyday. It will check your site for errors, optimisation speed of loading etc etc. It's free and they have an offer at the moment for the comercial licences. http://www.webceo.com I'd be surprised if you didn't find something worthwhile in this program.

Hi, I agree: submission to search engine is not importend anymore. Onsite factors like text in title, head etc. are importend and off page factors like 1 way incomming links. Also reciprocal linking is not importend anymore as many experts already proclamated for more then 1 year now, with last Google Juggler update. You need one way incomming links. So its not about search engine submission, its about optimizing your website. You need a tool that can anaylze your pages if its SE ready and help you get more 1 way inbound quality themed links.

I too would recommend CEO as I am fairly new to search engine optiization and had been doing everything the long way before i find it useful. I started with the free version and just a couple of weeks ago upgraded to the small business package.
