There has been some discussion about whether a new site should be submitted using Google’s manual submission routine.

A good number feel that you should, but those of us in opposition are equally vocal in our conviction that it is not a good idea.
Let us look at a part of the process of ranking and the assigning of Page Rank, which can be a determining factor in deciding the position of a page in the SERPS (Search engine ranking position[s])
What is PageRank?
PageRank is a numeric value that represents how important a page is on the web. Google figures that when one page links to another page, it is effectively casting a vote for the other page. The more votes that are cast for a page, the more important the page must be. Also, the importance of the page that is casting the vote determines how important the vote itself is. Google calculates a page’s importance from the votes cast for it. How important each vote is is taken into account when a page’s PageRank is calculated.

PageRank is Google’s way of deciding a page’s importance. It matters because it is one of the factors that determines a page’s ranking in the search results. It isn’t the only factor that Google uses to rank pages, but it is an important one.
In the Wikipedia page on PR they include the following explanation:

If we look at what happens with a new site organically foundwe get a transference of PR.

If we look at a site submitted by using Google’s manual
submission form, we get no PR assigned to the new page:

Don’t give in to the darkside. Use organic linking when making a new site available.

SEO all begins here with your thought, your concept.
Define what you want to do by listing the keywords that apply to the product or service.

Once you have your list, do some research at WordTracker and order it in relation to most used.

When this is done, take two of the most popular and see if you can combine them for a domain name.

Register the domain for 5 years.
