New sites do not need to be "submitted" to search engines to be listed. However, Google and Yahoo offer a submission program such as Google Sitemaps that an XML type feed could be created and submitted. Generally however, a simple link from an established site will get the search engines to visit the new site and begin to spider its contents. It can take a few days or even weeks from the acquisition of a link from such an established site for all the main search engine spiders to commence visiting and indexing the new site.
Once the search engine has found the new site, it will generally visit and start to index the pages on the site, as long as all the pages are linked with anchor tag hyperlinks. Pages which are accessible only through Flash or Javascript links may not be findable by the spiders. Search engine crawlers may look at a number of different factors when crawling a site, and many pages from a site may not be indexed by the search engines until they gain more pagerank or links or traffic.
Distance of pages from the root directory of a site may also be a factor in whether or not pages get crawled, as well as other importance metrics. Cho et al. (Cho et al., 1998) described some standards for those decisons as to which pages are visited and sent by a crawler to be included in a search engine's index.
Webmasters can instruct spiders to not index certain files or directories through the standard robots.txt file in the root directory of the domain. Standard practice requires a search engine to check this file upon visiting the domain, though a search engine crawler will keep a cached copy of this file as it visits the pages of a site, and may not update that copy as quickly as a webmaster does. The web developer can use this feature to prevent pages such as shopping carts or other dynamic, user-specific content from appearing in search engine results, as well as keeping spiders from endless loops and other spider traps.
For those search engines who have their own paid submission (like Yahoo!), it may save some time to pay a nominal fee for submission. Yahoo!'s paid submission program guarantees inclusion in their search results, but it does not guarantee specific ranking within the search results.
Web Spiders
Webmasters and content providers began optimizing sites for search engines in the mid-1990s, as the first search engines were cataloging the early Web.
Initially, all a webmaster needed to do was submit a site to the various engines which would run spiders, programs to "crawl" the site, and store the collected data. The default search-bracket was to scan an entire webpage for so-called related search words, so a page with many different words matched more searches, and a webpage containing a dictionary-type listing would match almost all searches, limited only by unique names.
The search engines then sorted the information by topic, and served results based on pages they had crawled. As the number of documents online kept growing, and more webmasters realized the value of organic search listings, some popular search engines began to sort their listings so they could display the most relevant pages first. This was the start of a friction between search engine and webmasters that continues to this day.

High Ranking
Keeping your site ranked high is a continual work in progress. Many novice observers think when you build a website and submit the website to the search engines, you'll get all the traffic you want, for which ever keywords you want ranked. This has never been the case and recently the competition for Internet traffic is getting more intense.
To gain any success you need professional website search engine promotion, to optimize each page on your site, and then study the results. Even after your site has been submitted and optimized the first time you still might not rank high. It might take a second or even a third time optimizing your pages to achieve a top ten ranking positions. The only guarantee in website search engine promotion - is that it will take a lot of work.
So much work is necessary because search engine algorithms change (the method in which a search engine ranks your site), Google is know to alter their algorithms every month. That is the reason why some website will rank high for a few months and then all of a sudden drop in rankings. That is why, if you market your website just once and do nothing more, the website will drop in rankings. Thousands of websites are submitted to search engine(s) everyday most of those websites have not altered their website from the last time they were submitted; just submitting the same web page site will not increase your rankings. To beat the competition for your keywords you must change your website and learn to flow with the changing search engine algorithms.
The key to website search engine promotion is to keep marketing your site, tweaking it, fixing the meta tags or header tags and content. These methods will work to obtain high website ranking, but to keep it ranked high you must continue to make changes and flow with those changes occurring in search engine algorithms. What methods you used to get your website ranked high months ago won't acquire the same rankings today. Your website search engine promotion methods must change constantly.
The best way to get the top rankings for the keywords is to continually upgrade your site to be compliant and friendly with search engine rules and algorithms. You may not achieve top rankings quickly or after your first two submissions but if you keep marketing your website intelligently you will achieve the rankings you desire.
It is difficult get your site ranked high on the search engine for one keyword. The number of keywords determines the amount of work. We recommend maximum five keywords and yet many site owners want to be ranked high in 10+ keyword(s). If your site has more then ten keywords the workloads becomes a never-ending project. The number of keywords determines the cost. The greater the number of keywords, the higher the cost of the promotion.
Success is measured by the number and quality of "hits" (search engine keyword traffic to the site). Quality is measured by the attracting the "right visitor" for your product and service.
