*Some sites offer monthly registration with a
selected few of the top 10 search engines. Although we will provide
this service if requested, we strongly advise against it. Most search
engines are now taking active measures to stop and/or penalize those
site owners who are clogging up their systems by submitting monthly
re-registrations that do not reflect significant changes to the Websites.
This can lead to penalties or complete exclusion. We recommend doing
a thorough job in the initial submission and then following it up with
quarterly or 6 month reviews.
