Website submission to search engines is a thing of the past?
Just yesterday my client, concerned about his new websites’ (Florite.com) ranking in the search engines, asked me if I manually do web site submission to the search engines?

Fresh relevant content is the surest way to develop a following and attract traffic to your online business. I also set up all my client sites in Google and Bing webmaster tools to monitor and tracking in analytics to report on trends. Remember, Google wants to deliver you fresh content (and search deserves fresh) so these new materials will rise to the top of the page leaving your competition buried in web sediment…
