BLADE -> url submission (1/5/2004 22:29:03)

OK, I’m really confused about this. I don’t know if some as brought this up already but here it is.
I read everywhere that you should not submit your link to search engines very often as that can get you penalized. Also do not use programs like web submission gold as it can hurt you search engine position, and so on. Well, considering that anybody can submit any website they like, what if your competition starts spamming search engines with your URL in order to hurt your position!? What are the chances for something like that to happen?
Did you ever think about this???

With WPG it was a couple of different concerns, I had not heard the downside to auto submitting. Keep in mind a few SEs need a validation code that is randomly generated.

It comes down to if you query Google you violate thier TOS...
