<h3>Dear <strong>Small Business Owner</strong>,</h3>
<h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ref: Paying for Search Engine Submission Service</span></h4>
<p>I do not insist I am the <a title="I an not an SEO Rockstar" href="http://explicitly.me/seo-rockstar">worlds greatest SEO</a>. However I do know a few things about helping <a title="Small Business SEO By Rishi Lakhani" href="http://explicitly.me/small-business-seo">small businesses</a>. Note, I dont want your money, I want to save you some.</p>
<p>So lets get something right &#8211; you do <strong>NOT</strong> have to pay for Search Engine Submission Services. You heard me right the first time, you do <strong>NOT</strong> have to pay for Search Engine Submission Service. See the below? I have taken off the bullshit, and left you with options that will give you an idea:</p>
<div id="attachment_308" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 593px">

<p>If you follow even the basics of search engine optimisation tips on the <a title="SEO Guide and tools" href="http://explicitly.me/microsoft-seo-toolkit">Google Approved SEO Guid</a><a title="SEO Guide and tools" href="http://explicitly.me/microsoft-seo-toolkit">e found on this page</a>, you should be OK to Rock and Roll. Dont worry about 100&#8217;s of search engines.

<p>However if submitting your site does make you feel better, then I include the below resources you can use yourself for <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>FREE</strong>.</span> One set, solid, <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>discount price of $0</strong></span> (or £0 in UK equivalent).:</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="Submit site to Gooogle" href="http://www.google.com/submityourcontent/index.html" target="_blank">Submit your site and your content to Google</a></li>
<li><a title="Submit site to Yahoo" href="http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit" target="_blank">Submit your site and / or feed to Yahoo!</a></li>
<li><a title="Submit site to Bing" href="http://www.bing.com/webmaster/SubmitSitePage.aspx" target="_blank">Submit your site to Bing</a></li>
