Search engines will find you by those backlinks and google will give you of course some PR (like 2 or 3).

when you submit to google ..you get PR 0 ...

Submitting to 3rd tier search engines is a waste of time IMO. You likely will never see any traffic from them, so it is wasted effort.

Here is a diagram with the % of uses of the major search engines: http://searchenginewatch.com/reports...le.php/2156451

Remember, if you submit to Google manually, then it will add you but with a PageRank of 0. Why? Because it didn't get to your site from any backlinks, rather it found your site only because you submitted it. Then you'll have to wait for next PR update. If you are found via a backlink, chances are you will land a PR2, PR3, or PR4, just like the guy mentioned.

Thanks.

No problem. Just don't bet on the PR through a backlink. The page that is backlinking you has to have a rather good PR inorder for your site to get PR when indexing for the first time. Google has to also find your site through the link.

When you submit to Google, it doesn't find you through any links, that's why you will always have PR0 until the next PR update.

They also have to be not using nofollow tags and dynamic links to prevent PR leakage..

Yes, those are other problems. I always check to see if people have:

PHP Code:

  rel=nofollow

on the links that they link to me. It's important to check that.

Submitting a site that frequently could get your website banned in some search engines, I would submit it only once, and if you can place a link to it on another website that is already indexed then do so and let the search engines find you, of course that would happen only with Google, Yahoo and MSN so you will need to submit to the other 100 SE's that almost no one uses.

Yeah, believe it or not, I put rel=nofollow on the sites that link me, but many have said that Google ignores this. Another alternative for those cheaters is to create a user agent check, and if it is GoogleBot, to leave out the links.
