They dont work....................................

They cause problems more like. Submitting to all these FFA sites (which they call search engines) which instead decrease your rankings.

Best is to go with the search engine submission service providers that have close working relationships with the search engines.
The ones that do it for you, and not ask you to download a software.

Anyone who tells you they have more of an "in" than anyone else is being deceptive.

Besides paying someone to make and manage your submissions (and I say this as someone who's been making money doing optimization and submission for quite a while so I probably should just insist that it's too complicated for you to do it! :) ) you can do it yourself. Once you have located the submission urls for the major search engines it'd take just a few minutes to do the actual submissions to the few legitimate search resources that still accept and include free submissions.

The hard part, and where you might be best off paying someone, is preparing and optimizing your site, and deciding such things as whether to use paid spidering and if so which pages to pay for, etc.

I've tried and tried to submit sites that I've done to search engines like google but it seems like they just go to the bottom of the pile with all the other submissions. I haven't tried getting "third party" to submit sites because of cost.

One thing I've tried and it seems to have worked is to include the URL of the site I wanted to promote in a site already established in one of the search engines. I had one site I've been maintaining for years, it's already indexed at google so what I did was put the new URL which I was trying to promote in my old site, ie, "This is the new site I am working on http://blah.blah".

I checked google after a couple of days, maybe a little longer, and wala! my new site was indexed!

Give it a whirl, might just be fluke but it worked for me and that's what I've been doing ever since :)

I have heard that a good 'Submit Agent' is 'SubmitWolf' I have given the link below to it. It "supposedly" submits your site to over 500,000 search engines.

Here is a quote from there site.
"SubmitWolf PRO can automatically register your websites with thousands of engines and directories PLUS over 500000 link pages. "

Give it a try, and let us know if its any good or not. I think there is a free trial version, and the full version is $95. Good luck, let us know how it turns out.

[...] I think there is a free trial version, and the full version is $95. Good luck, let us know how it turns out. You'll be wasting your time and your money, starting with the fact that there aren't 500,000 search engines, or anywhere close to it. There aren't even "thousands of search engines," and submitting to hundreds of thousans of links pages is more likely to have bad effects on your search engine presence than good.
I've tried and tried to submit sites that I've done to search engines like google but it seems like they just go to the bottom of the pile with all the other submissions. While Google has an "add url" page, they don't add sites to their index unless they are linked to by some number of other sites that they have indexed. If you have no incoming links, submitting to Google is a waste of time. If you have them, it's unnecessary because they'll find you anyway.

If, as you say, your site was in Google within a few days you were blessed by good timing. Their index is updated roughly once a month (the most recent update, over the past several days, was a little late, and a little long to finalize, and still seems to be a little quirky).
