: Should I pay for search engine submission as a web hosting extra? When people buy hosting at Go Daddy or other shared hosting, there is a .99/month additional fee to be submitted to search

@Rivera981

If your site is linked to by any other site/page that is already in Google's index then your page(s) will be found and indexed.

Don't go paying money for "search engine submission" it's all snake oil.

Use the links provided by paulmorriss and/or create a sitemap and let Google's Webmaster Tools know about it.

That's all you ever need to do.

The two biggest search engines are Google and Bing. For Google use this link: www.google.com/webmasters/tools/submit-url?hl=en_uk
For Bing use this: www.bing.com/toolbox/submit-site-url
You only need to do it once. It's not worth paying that money.

Extra information: If they talk about resubmitting sitemaps then you don't need to do that if your site hasn't changed much:
Is it necessary to re-submit modified sitemaps?
