In the SEO Philippines group mailing list, there are people that have some good amount of SEO experience but there are still some newbies as well in the list. And for some people, it may still be unknown how to submit to search engines.

If you don’t submit, but you have websites linked to you. You will still somehow get crawled when the bots (also called robots, spiders, crawlers) go over your site. These bots are nothing but programs of the search engines that go from one site to another tracing every link. Unless there is a nofollow attribute, (but I really don’t think so, I believe it is still crawled, but not given the ranking credit for having a link. This is my personal opinion only.)

But if time is a factor and you want to be crawled earlier, you can submit your sites to Google, Yahoo and MSN.

• Google Add URL
• Yahoo Submit Your Site
• (MSN Submit to Live Search no longer valid.)
• Submit Your Site to Bing

For advanced stuff, you might want to look into Google Webmaster Tools, Yahoo SiteExplorer and Bing Webmaster Tools.

I am encouraging all newbies to join the Ituloy Angsulong SEO contest. Don’t be discouraged by other more experienced members. Ituloy Angsulong is not only a contest of knowledge. Ituloy Angsulong is also a contest of who has more time and effort to invest in the contest. Ituloy Angsulong is also a contest of creativity. And for the *ehem* some of the blackhat people, it can be a contest of technical programming knowledge. If you may not know the knowledge in some basic skills. You can learn them along the way in the Ituloy Angsulong SEO contest. And use your other talents to make your site rank higher. In this SEO contest, win or lose just try everything you can learn and observe how it goes. This alone can teach your SEO already.
