I'm guessing no but these companies say you will be entered into over 400 engines. Worth it, or should I just do it for free on some of those others which register you for 20 or so of the majors?

Heaven is made
of 1's and 0's
NO WAY..
Dont pay anyone anything.. That is absolute crap if you ask me. Just make sure you have your stuff together as far as meta tags, good page titles, no broken links - etc.
The technology in bots will find you..
Besides.. who finds work by typing in 'Web Design' in a search engine, anyhow..

See anything you like on the top 10?
There is always.. *sigh* Elance.

tell me, is this sellable.....
I disagree.
Payment for top of page placement has its pluses, but as always there are loads of variables.
Porn sites pay registracion fees of 699 USD just to get on the yahoo index.
On top of which you have a whole load of different placement systems on search results.
It costs you 1000usd for top page placement, it gets you click throughs of 100 a day, from which you sell an average of .........
it is just a accounting process. Do your maths.

Visit regularly. I have found INDEPTH knowledge of search engines has a very positive impact in client meatings. I never sell ´how good at design we are´. I go for the ´we just really know are stuff better then the other guys´. I talk about copyright and search engines. This gives the impression to the client of a professional outfit.
As for this idea of 400 search engines, well that is rubbish. What they do is place u on one of those links pages. Totally usless.

Yeah..I'm split myself.
I wouldn't pay for submission to the 400+ engines..you might wind up getting banned if they don't do it right.
Even bCentral's submitit, which used to be good, hasn't kept up with the changes to different engines requirements.
I would pay for Yahoo however..possibly Looksmart just for the play across their network.
It all depends on why you want to be ranked...
I would not pay to be ranked on Yahoo for web design , as you are still going to wind up being buried unless you can find a good sub catagory, or niche.
Goto isn't bad either if you have the time to manage listings..

....he's amazing!!!
There are two options when it comes to paying for search engine listing, one is to pay an agent to list you on many search engines and the other is to pay a search engine directly to list you at the top for certain keywords for a certain amount of times.
Many firms offer submission to hundereds or even thousands of search engines, if you consider that 99% of all search engine traffic comes from just a few search engines/indexes, most of this is fairly useless, and the submissions to the few important SE's are done automatically, which is far less effective. Much better to submit your site to google, yahoo, lycos and altavista and do it well, or get someone who knows what they're doing to do this for you.
Paying a search engine for listings is as effective as your wallet allows. Better search words are more expensive, better search engines are as well.

if you are trying to register a media company, forget it.
Unless you think it is very regional sensitive at the hour of potencial clients doing a search. If so place in regional catagory.
Learn about search engines. I cannot stress enough how valuable this knowledge is.
