I regularly submit and re-submit my sites to the search engines even though I know the SEs will find the site and index it. Does anyone have an opinion on proactively submitting and resubmitting sites to the search engines and if so, what is a good time frame for resubmitting?

The thread captures the two common instincts: keep re-submitting or let crawlers find pages (see comments from and ). A practical, up-to-date approach is to make indexing predictable for search engines instead of repeatedly pushing the same submission. Focus on crawl signals and the tools search engines provide.

Keep an accurate XML sitemap, update lastmod when content changes, and submit that sitemap to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. Use Search Console for targeted work — the URL Inspection / Request Indexing flow is the right way to ask Google to re-evaluate a page after a meaningful change. If a page is not being indexed, check robots.txt, meta robots tags, canonical headers, and HTTP status codes; a quick header check is useful:

curl -I https://example.com/your-page

There is no fixed resubmission interval. Submit or request indexing when you publish new content or make significant updates. For high-frequency sites push sitemap updates immediately; for small sites a sitemap update after batches of changes (or monthly) is sufficient. Monitor coverage and crawl data in Search Console and your server logs to confirm crawls. For protocol details see the Sitemaps specification (sitemaps.org) and general guidance on crawling and indexing (Google Search Central).

Hi,
If your website is already indexed then I don't think resubmitting into SE do some good!!

at first i believe that resubmitting your site in SE will do nothing to your page. but when i experienced sandbox in my blog. waht i do is resubmit my URl to SE then the next day i retrieved all my lost PR and backlinks.IMO resubmitting your site in SE is not that bad at all you are just assuring that SE are alwys crawling your site
