Firstly hello, im quite new to seo so please bear with me:

We've just finished re-designing a website for a UK client. Now when we search in google it shows some old links (obviously). The google webmasterpage says the following:
When you update information on your site it does not automatically update instantly in Google's index. Rather, Google's index is updated approximately once a month after our robots have crawled more than 3 billion web pages. This process is totally automated, so updated or outdated link submissions are not necessary. Changes to your site's content will be noted by the next crawl. Due to the volume of sites in our index, we cannot manually update pages on an individual basis.
so that seems fair enough.

My question is should we be re-submitting to any other search engines or do they work in similar ways to google?

thanks for any input, ben

Hi Ben-

Welcome to the forum! :hi:

Google will pick up your new pages the next time they crawl and update. Crawling happens all the time but the update (the Google Dance) only happens once a month. Just give it a little time.

Yes, other spidering search engines work the same way. Concentrate on getting good inbound links from quality sites to make sure the spiders find your site.

You may want to submit to directories like DMOZ, JoeAnt, and GoGuides- they all provide a quality inbound link.

Best of luck!
