Manual Submission

Manual submission module allows submitting your site to the search engines, that require payment for listing your sites. These engines are used by ordinary Internet users in the search for information, but they are also used by the other search engines.

The engines with paid submission are divided into two main subcategories:

• Engines that charge a payment for submission of each URL (or several URLs)
• The ones where you pay for the listing of your URL in the search results for a certain keyword. In this case, the more you pay, the higher will be the ranking of your URL.

Also, into this category are included some search engines, which exclude the possibility of automatic submission (currently russian Yandex and Aport).

If you follow any link with the name of a search engine, the program will open page with the detailed submision informatiom on this particular search engine. Every page contains links to manual submission pages in its upper part (Click here to submit to...). Following these links you will be taken to individual search engine submissin pages, where you should follow further instructions there.
