This long outdated technique is as old as the Meta Keywords, but it clings on somehow. And it’s costing some businesses.<\/p>\n
I talked to one the other day who was paying a company $200\/Month to resubmit his site to Google and the other search engines to keep his website ‘fresh’ in the listings.<\/p>\n
That’s $200 he might as well have spent on lottery tickets or those Skechers Shaping shoes. He would’ve got just as much out for his money.<\/p>\n
First, we’re not talking about submitting your Sitemap to Google or the search engines when you’ve made updates. That’s legitimate.<\/p>\n
Keep in mind, though, that if you’re not making changes to your content – or adding new content – submitting a sitemap of the same, unchanged pages over and over does nothing for you or your business.<\/p>\n
What we’re talking about is SEO companies and services that actually use Google’s (or Yahoo’s, or Bing’s) submittal form to resubmit your site.<\/p>\n
The real story is this. Once you’re in Google, you’re in. There’s absolutely no reason to keep putting yourself into their In Tray.<\/p>\n
They have your web address and they’ll come by automatically to find what you’ve changed since the last time. It’s AUTOMATIC.<\/p>\n
In fact, constant resubmitting could actually be considered spamming in some cases, which will actively hurt your rankings<\/strong>. That’s the last thing you need.<\/p>\n EXACTLY WHAT YOU’RE GETTING FROM THIS SEO SERVICE<\/p>\n If someone is selling you on this SEO service, they’re actually asking you to pay the for 1 of 2 things:<\/p>\n 1. Absolutely nothing The choice is clear.
