How often is too often to re-submit a url I want spidered?

eventually isnt a good thing though. I'm pushing it to get a business going, and the standard advertising methods just dont produce that well around here.

If you need to get your site spidered quickly, make sure to get links from as many places as possible. Axe may have said this, but I was only skimming.

You need to get your site into directories such as DMOZ, Joeant, Websavvy, Gimpsy, and others. These will help get your site spidered quickly. I have found that once I get into DMOZ, I am spidered very soon afterwards.

Also, if you need to get in quick, buy a url subscription to inktomi, you will be in MSN within a few days. Get a directory listing in Yahoo, it will get you in there directory within a few days and help you get into Yahoo search.

Other smaller engines such as Altavista and all-the-web now have free submission (takes up to 6 months) or you can pay for inclusion there also.

And about getting your site spidered often. Axe was right when he said have changing content. Make sure your site is always updated. But it also helps to have a high Pagerank. I am one site that is updates probably once a month, but gets spidered every few days because it has a Pagerank of 6.

Hope all this helps. Just my opinion.

Eventually is your only option. Eventually might be 2 days, eventually might be a month. I don't own Google, this isn't my choice

Like vetofunk says, make sure you get links from as many places as possible. The more people link to you, the more popular you look, and the sooner Google may get you up there.

If that's not soon enough, as it's a business, you might be better paying for some actual ads on Google, while you wait for the listings to catch up.

Axe brings up a great point. Every client I have, I always start out with pay-per-click advertising because I have them online immediately. You can be listed on Google in less than 15min using Google Adwords.

Thanks much.your opinions are greatly appreciated. I am running google adwords presently, also I paid for most of the smaller engine submissions through go-daddy when I registered the domain. Google has me now, but they spidered it before I had the site meta tagged and soforth like it is now. I want them to re-spider it and get the updated stuff. I also went ahead and paid for the yearly inclusion into jeeves. Ive got two good link exchanges going right now.so all I can do is sit and wait. meanwhile I am advertising in print through a few newspapers to hit the crowd with no computer at all.

Remember directories! Also, take a look at the thread I started on the big changes in Yahoo and Overture.

I read it

there is a large list of places to get listed right here: http://enginemage.com

That alone can get you hundreds of links that get spidered daily.

Great Find!

Thanks much. all the advice and knowledge is greatly appreciated. I need to go ahead and hire one of you guys to handle all this for me.

You mean "thanks for building it", I think

Ahhhh...nice, yeah I started my own which I now have about 100 directories/sites, but there are quite a few I have not seen, which are on yours.

Good Jerb!

Hey, how come when I do the popularity checker on my domain, Google comes back as being "0" - in fact, they all do except for AllTheWeb, which shows me as "1"

AllTheWeb shows 3,401 results linking to my site's homepage..

Yahoo (which shows as '0') shows 29,900 pages linking to my site's homepage.

So, how is this popularity rated? I would assume that a search engine having 29,900 links to my homepage would have a higher "popularity" rating than a search engine that shows 3,401 links to my homepage.

Google's PR (via google toolbar) shows me 6/10 on the same URL.

What tool are you using for this?
