I'm in dilemma

Currently I'm in dilemma, I've heard that now a day its not required to submit your site to Google. Is it true? Please suggest.

[williamc]

it never was required in the first place.

Someone told you wrong. It may be a benefit to submit an XML sitemap, but it is no requirement

I don't know if there is even a way to "submit your website to google". But if you simply enter your website address in your profile, then your user name on this forum will link to your site, and you've then just "submitted it" to google.
All you need is one legitimate link from other website to your new website, and it is "submitted"! And then the hard work begins!

No, that is not so. No SE magically knows about the creation of a link; it only learns of such when it next crawls the page containing such.

On the other hand, direct submission to an SE guarantees immediate discovery.

Google is smart enough now than earlier to know about the new sites. But it still has a form to submit the site to it: www . google. com/addurl/?continue=/addurl, so you can use it if you want to get indexed.

But here is something that Google say about form for Add URL

We don't add all submitted URLs to our index, and we can't make predictions or guarantees about when or if submitted URLs will appear in our index.

You can also login to GMT and submit your sitemap.xml to get your site get indexed.

Make your site, make it well, make it whole (no underconstrution sites....you can always add to it as you go) make your navigation solid and followable with 100% anchor text and send it.

Google is smart enough now than earlier to know about the new sites.

Being "smart" has nothing to do with it; and, here Google is no "smarter" than others.

The fact is that there are but two ways only for an SE to learn of a new resource:

• Direct - The creator of such tells the SE about it; or,
• Indirect - The SE comes across a different resource that references the new one.

If you want to wait for the 2nd to happen, so be it. But, if you want to be assured of immediate discovery, you must do the 1st.
