    I have a question about submitting a site to which search engine for more traffic? So which one is having more reputation? Google, Yahoo, MSN?
    Thanks

    That is a bad question.

    You want to have visitors from ALL major search engines. If Google for eg decides to drop you in SERPs, and you only targetted it for SEO, than you're stuffed.

    If your site is worthwhile, traffic from any of the Search Engines can become repeat traffic. If you optimise the site well, you can monetise it as well.

    Google will get you more traffic but I always seem to have better conversions with MSN and the absolute worse with Yahoo.

    And by the way, it is not necessary to submit your website directly to any of the search engines. Just get a few links from established websites to your new one, and the search engines will find you fairly quickly.

    And/or put a link to your new website in your Digital Point signature.

    Of course go for all, but if you must choose, google, then yahoo, and then msn. You could pay to have your site submitted with some companies, but those three you can do yourself and for free :). Remember too, all these companies have multiple search engines for language too. Get yourself a good translator and you could see a huge increase in traffic.

    It's difficult to say since most of the traffic is coming from Google only :D

    Google could give you more traffic than Yahoo and MSN since it's the most used Search Engine. But it is much better to target these 3 Search Engines

    why do you want to limit yourself with search engines?

    it's better to focus on all of them
