Link Submission
What is link submission?
Link submission notifies search engines that a page exists and requests they analyze and index the page.
Why link submission matters for SEO
Link submission is helpful for SEO because it can assist search engines in finding new, buried, or orphaned pages to analyze and index. It can also alert search engines to significant updates to pages that aren’t crawled often.
