Web site submission is the process of giving a certain websites URL and Title to search engines, asking them to list the site on their results.
The submission process varies in how long it takes by which search engine used, and how much the client wants to pay. Ranging from free to very high prices, web site submission is an imperitive part in receiving web site traffic on any site. The free submission of a website to search engines is tedious. It can take hours to submit to even a basic bunch of search engines. Some websites condense this process for you, by asking for your information once, and submitting it to many search engines. For companies or high profile websites, a service may be used to submit your site. Usually bought with SEO (Search Engine Optimization) the site is submitted to many many more search engines than you can do manually. This is a better quality of web site submission, but all things come with a cost.
