There is no need for search engine submissions anymore (This is the practice of submitting your site manually, or by software, directly to search engines in order to be included in their search result pages). Furthermore, by submitting your site using software you are waisting your money, time and risking to get your site banned permanently from the major search engines!
However, it's still very important to submit to search directories, and here's why:
Search engines will find your site all by themselves without any site submission help from you; they find pages in your site as long as there are links to them. Here are some excellent directories you should consider for your vacation rental website:
The above directories are what I believe to be the best for vacation rental website owners that want to target 'vacation rental' terms. If you want to target other terms like 'holiday rentals', 'villas', then you should find search directories that have categories that include those words (make sure the category pages don't have too many listings as this dilutes the value of your inbound link).
General Search Directory Site Submission Guidelines:
Choose your category wisely. Once you've submitted your site to a particular category within the search directory, it can be difficult to change it later. Choose wisely the first time.
Write a good title and description. Make sure that the title and description you write is correct, keyword phrase targeted, and adheres to the search directory guidelines. Some directories don't allow you to edit your listing, so review carefully before submission.
Good luck in climbing the search engine ranks!
