Submitting Websites to search engine directories (as opposed to listings) is a manual, labor-intensive process. Human editors review submissions' quality and content to determine if they will be accepted in a directory. Stringent submission guidelines (and pricing, when relevant) vary between search engines. Submission volume is enormous, and editors are increasingly selective. More popular (and populated) categories are more difficult to penetrate. Directory categories and subcategories are determined prior to submission as are listing factors like regional directories, which can increase chances of acceptance. Sites in categories with relatively fewer listings are more likely to be selected. Most search engines utilize other search engines' listings, so directory submissions are made only to major search engines.

Every major search engine accepts paid listings. Search engine advertising guarantees a site appears in the top results for specified search terms within a day or less of making the agreement. Costs and pricing models vary, including pay per click and pay per impression. Listings can be single or multiple URLs. Paid listings build visibility quickly, and can function as a long-term advertising option. A company that provides paid listing management should monitor your search engine campaign's efficiency and make adjustments to improve your results.
