The search engine sites catalog and index public Web sites so they can be listed when the users search for information that eventually may be found such sites. For this reason, the search engine sites are one of most important source of visitors of public Web sites.

Although many search engine sites crawl the Web and automatically find new sites soon or later, it may help new sites becoming visible to search engine sites much sooner if the new sites are manually submitted for cataloging or indexing.

This class provides a solution that may help a new site be submitted very quickly to many search engine sites all at once, and so gain visibility much sooner rather than later.
