How many pages should I submit and how often?
Never ever submit the same page twice in a 24-hour period; in fact, it is best not to submit any single page more often that every 30 days, and ideally a page doesn't really need to be submitted more often than every 90 days. Search engines that "crawl" will eventually index every page of your site (so you don't need to submit every page). This process takes anywhere from 2-6 months. For this reason you should only submit the MOST IMPORTANT pages of your site. Don't submit more than two different pages in a 24-hour period; and it is preferable to only submit one page at a time allowing 2-3 days to pass between submissions. This approach offers you the benefit of spreading out your spidering. You need to remember that when you submit a page all the pages it is linked to will also be indexed again. If you have 4 main pages, you can submit 1 a week and eventually all of your pages will be indexed once a week. Pages are also ranked higher when they are crawled rather than submitted, so you want to leave some "gem" pages for the spider to find. If you have more than one site, be sure they are linked together so that when one gets crawled they all do.
