You really don't have to submit sites to Google, do you? Doesn't the Googlebot just wander around following links and mapping pages thus creating its own submissions?

yeah but it doesnt hurt to submit as well.

plus, following links isnt going to get a googlebot to my new site anytime soon...

That's what I sorta said in my previous post, but decided iCraig had answered it, so I just said ignore me

 

[Van Hellseek]

how is google going to find a site by following links, when there is nothing linking to it?

 

[iCraig]

That's the thing. Get some people linking to you.

I've seen sites appear in Google after only a few hours once linked to a decent site.

Stick a link into your signature, the GoogleBot crawls the forums now and again.

Clearly the answer is to spam the forums with links asking people to tell you what they think of your site when the true motive is to get it crawled.

Depending on what your site is about, I'll link you.

Oh cool, is linking the new 'in' thing?

Yes and no. Relevant linking is.

But the link will only to help him appear on Google, however I doubt it will help his PR.

pagerank will go up after it's been listed on dmoz, even if only by one point.

another of my sites went from 0-3 in a few months after being listed on dmoz. still not massive, but better than nothing.
