Site Submission Software

Many webmasters want to get more visitors ("traffic") to their web site. There is a simple reason for this - web sites that get more visitors, generally speaking, for the most part, earn more money that web sites that get fewer visitors. It's also a fact that it can be very disheartening to hear about (perhaps on message boards or discussion boards) other web sites that get many thousands of visitors per day, when your own site only gets a relative trickle of visitors.
One perception that many webmasters have is that their site is not getting sufficient visitors from search engines. In some cases, this perception may be true - established web sites (which you may have heard or read about) do frequently get more search engine visitors than new web sites. The question that then arises is how to catch up?
One assumption that some webmasters make is that this is because they simply haven't submitted their own site to search engines, or enough search engines. In fact, this is rarely, if ever, the reason for insufficient search engine traffic. The fact is that it is possible to achieve lots of traffic from just a few major search engines (Google, MSN, Yahoo, Ask, etc.) - but you do need good rankings (to come near the top of the results for popular searches) inorder to achieve this.
That is not to say the submission software is unnecessary. However, what I'm saying is that you don't need to submit to major search engines directly. Instead what you need to do is to submit elsewhere, in order to create more incoming links ("backlinks") leading to your web site - since these can contribute towards higher search engine rankings.
There are three types of submission software to consider:
1. Directory Submission Software - Programs that will submit your site to Internet directories. There are over 1,000 Internet directories, and submitting your site to them is an easy way to gain lots of backlinks.
2. Article Submission Software - Programs that will allow you to submit your own original articles (of course you have to write these) to article directories. There are several hundred article directories that you could submit your articles too, and since you will be allowed to include a resource box with a backlink to your site in each article, this provides another method of gaining backlinks. The best part about article submission is that there is no upper limit to the number of articles that you can write (other than your time) - and thus you can get more backlinks whenever you want.
3. Link Exchange Tools - Programs that facilitate link exchanges with other sites, by finding pages that you can submit your link to, by helping you submit your own link, and by assisting you to manage your own links page. Some programs with these types of functions (check each one for exact details) include OutRankSmart, SEO Elite and SEO Equalizer.
