I would like to know the best way to submit to Google. Their submit page states

"You may also add comments or keywords that describe the content of your page. These are used only for our information and do not affect how your page is indexed or used by Google."

Which way is best? My comments can be a descriptive sentence (like my site description), or should I just stuff keywords?

Thanks in advance, I'm still a newbie!

Many of us are very dubious about the value of submitting to Google.

If you have links they will list you even if you do not submit.

If you do not have links they will not list, even if you do submit.

I would certainly not waste any time on comments or keywords.

I always put a succinct site description - I can't imagine keyword stuffing that submit form will do anything - in fact, I think it's been raised before that the submit form is just there to divert the deluge of requests to "add my site!" - they will add your site when other sites start linking to it...

In over 50 launches already this year - we have not submitted one single site to Google - and as long as we post good links on other well ranking sites and add a listing in DMOZ, the site is usually crawled within days and included in the next update (depending on when launch happens)...

I think their submit feature goes to a dead file - did anyone ever look at the source code of that submit form? :)
