How do you submit a blog to the search engines

Today’s question:

How do you get a blog submitted to different search engines

The best way is to let the search engines find you. Submitting your blog to the search engines is a waste of time in my opinion.

Create a back link from another site. If you don’t have another site you can use any of the various free sites (blogger, WordPress.com, Squidoo, etc.) or even any active forum. This way the search engines find you which is always better than submissions.

This will get you indexed much more quickly than any submission.

Now that does not mean that I won’t add my blog feed to the various rss directories as this can be beneficial but I never submit them to Google, Yahoo, etc.

As always your questions and comments are welcomed.
