Submitting websites, and subsequently articles for those websites, has been the accepted practice. The route of choice and least resistance is all but written in stone as the only “accepted” school of thought in this arena. There are those however that are completely going against this trend/pattern and have decided that they are not going to be submitting any of their websites and/or articles that serve as the web content to Google or any of the other search engines, website or article directories because they have either found out or figured out that this is simply one really big waste of time that they would rather not even bother with.

Needless to say, this thought pattern and process has seriously ruffled the collective feathers of those who are in “the old guard” style of thinking and conducting business that says that you must always submit any new or newly designed website to the website submission directories and any new articles are to be placed on the article submission directory lists so that they can be “searched out” and ranked by the keyword content. This is “supposedly” meant to make it so much easier for people surfing the Internet and/or those who are looking for something very specific to be able to find your website(s) the easiest possible way or to go directly to the article(s) that will give them the information that they either want or need right at that moment.

The big problem with this thought process is this: it no longer applies any more! That’s right folks; you might as well take all of that and throw it in the trash can as that is precisely where it really belongs. There is so much that is changing so rapidly in and around and even within the SEO community itself that even those who are the “experts” in what works and what needs to be thrown out altogether cannot agree on anything. This goes “across the board” in the respect that these disagreements and arguments are touching every single part of the standard SEO practice and are tearing apart the fabric of the SEO community that has held up under the previous changes.

Those same “experts” are now so totally confused, almost like a cornered wild animal in their vehement defense of the “standard way” of going about making SEO work that they are completely blind-sided. This problem comes about when anything this significant (or even the smaller things like submission directory guidelines changing the least little bit). The usual response is that they automatically spit out the old guidelines and standards; most of which are irrelevant at the moment anyway.

The point here is that what worked last year, 6 months ago, 3 months ago or even last week no longer applies any more, much to everyone bafflement and confusion. Nothing about SEO will ever be the same again folks, because everything is constantly changing to keep up with the changes in people’s thoughts.
