I am rapidly coming to the conclusion (confirmed in another thread) that submitting sites to search engines is often counter productive.

In the past I did this as a matter of course every 6 months or so, using software to do this for me. In the early days it worked! No longer!!! I suspect it's not worth the time and effort.

I have not submitted any of my sites for over a year yet they still feature on page one slipping up and down a place or two but remain firmly on page one. Even new pages get listed without submitting them. This I was once told was impossible if you did not submit at least every 6 months.

Anyone else got views on this?
