Do you recommend www.submit-it.com?

Is www.submit-it.com a good way of submitting to all search engines?

I would never use something like that always bites you on the arse. It seems too good to be true which it is.

Thanks right Kari! Adding sitemap to webmaster tools is all that is needed and search engines will pick the website itself...
Ryan is right all you will receive after that is offers that will take you money away from your pockets...
You simply don’t need to go for it!

In addition, there are basically two search engine indexes to worry about -- Google and Bing (as Bing now powers Yahoo!). If you're in Google and Bing, that covers most of your organic search traffic right there. They each have their own way to submit if you're not already in their index, and they each have their own webmaster tools that can give you a lot of information about how your site is performing and what might be causing problems.

This is the kind of service that will earn you link penalties from Google.

I agree with Ryan, you shouldn't use that or any other software that looks too good to be true but I won't agree with the "earn links, don't build them"... Not anymore.
I have done that for years and I am now fed up with it. Earned links come in ages and ages. You will end up frustrated if you wait for back-links to come naturally. Meanwhile, your competitors will have built hundreds of back-links and you'll be out of the competition.
If all the top ranking sites were EARNING LINKS and not BUILDING them, I would have agreed with Ryan but that's not the case. Open Site Explorer clearly shows that. Pick any keyword and most of the time, you'll see that top ranking sites have not really earned those back-links but built them.
When Google and other search engines get better and can tell which backlink has actually been earned and which one has been built, I can agree with Ryan. Today, they only TALK about it.
rant over...

You would never want to use a site like the one you shared or anything similar. You are more likely to damage your SEO then to help it.
You need to earn links, not build them.
Simply asking such a question is likely to flood your mailbox with many offers which are almost certainly going to take your money and not provide any tangible SEO benefits.

Any recommendations for an XML Sitemap for a large community website?
Hi all, Once of our clients is a large community website for parents/parenting. The standard Wordpress XML Sitemap plugin is throwing up lots of errors, etc, and is not ideal. Does anyone have any recommendations for either a tool that we could use to create a better one, or else a service that we could pay to use? Gavin

Welcome Page - Forbes.com
Would love the group's opinion on the Forbes.com welcome page (http://www.forbes.com/fdc/welcome_mjx.shtml) redirects to the actual home page after 20 seconds. SEO implications for this tactic? Does it impact the home page rankings? (Positive/Negative) Any input is appreciated.

Is www. still important?
How important is the www in front of a domain name nowadays? We redesign a lot of sites and we want to focus on best practices - is it still important to include the www or redirect to shorter (non-www) url?

Recommended Wordpress themes for great SEO
Hi there, I'm trying to decide which theme to use. My main concern is if the theme has been built using a stable framework to ensure plugin compatibility for SEO. Also a general question, does the homepage need to have a certain amount of text content for SEO, or can other pages be SEO optimised with text / keyword? Some of the nicer themes seem to have a sparce text to image ratio on the homepage. I quite like this as an initial 'welcome' but worry this isn't great for SEO. Any suggested themes / advice will be welcome. Thanks

WordPress (.com) and SEO
I am in my 30 day trial and very interested in my results. I think I am probably in a small minority in having the same web site up and running for approaching 17 years (registered in January 1995 :)) but only now am I looking at SEO seriously (to the extent that I want to learn more myself, as opposed to having others promise great fortune!)). Anyway, before committing to SEOMoz on an ongoing basis I want to understand just how actionable the information on my dashboard is. With that in mind, here's the first of what is (hopefully) a series questions that about low-hanging fruit I might be able to check off quickly. I recently brought up a new blog on WordPress.com (note - hosted by WordPress, not a self-hosted implementation). I have had this blog running for less than a month and have just 18 posts. And I am being overwhelmed with thoudands of errors/warnings from SEOMoz. These fall into a few categories: Duplicate content: As I understand it, each TAG I associate with a single blog post creates a unique URL. For example, if I have a single post with tags for "flowers", "wine" and "cakes", I get URLs generated such as <blog url="">/flowers, <blog url="">/wines and <blog url="">/cakes. Obviously, tagging posts is a common scenario. Must I just accept these duplicate content warnings?</blog></blog></blog> Title element too long: These are self generated by WordPress.com and the default format includes the date the post was submitted (which takes a bunch of characters followed by the title used). Many of the posts are well over 70 and this seems really easy to do. Missing meta-description: As far as I can tell, Wordpress.com doesn't give me an option to specify these. So, must I just accept these issues if I use WordPress.com (which, again, seems like a very common scenario) and how negative is this to me? Thanks. Mark

Www1 and www domain
hi, I have a client who has an e-commerce business. My client does not want to fill the pages with too much content and has set up a www1 version with the same domain-name as the www. The plan is to create a lot of content and push www1 in ranking and then sending users (via links) to the www for ordering. Although there will be no duplicate content published on www and www1 this seems like an odd strategy, especially since the www already has a good page rank, and I'm not sure about how engines view a www.domain.com and www1domain.com situation even with unique content in each. Any thoughts?

Is the www and non www isue realy seen by Google as duplicate content?
I realy don't understand how Google could posibly devaluate a link because the site displays the same content with www and without www. I mean did somebody recently saw a devaluation of a domain because of this isue? I somehow can not belive this because it is the standard when geting a new webspace that the new website display the same content with and without www. Is a redirect realy necessary?
