Submit It! was a search-business internet advertising product that Scott Banister created in 1995, while he was a student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Co-founded by Bill Younker and Larry Gormley, it was acquired by LinkExchange in June 1998. ==History== Banister was still a student at UIUC in 1995 when he created ListServe. Eventually he and his friends added a bot tool to manage lists, and they renamed the company SubmitIt/Listbot, the precursor of Submit It! In 1996, LinkExchange became partners with Submit It! Business Wire described the resulting partnership as "the world's most popular service for registering web sites with search engines and directories. The two companies will join forces to provide web site owners with the most powerful, simple and effective solutions to promote their sites online." In 1998, LinkExchange announced acquisition of Submit It! and its developers. Microsoft subsequently acquired LinkExchange, including integration of its employees, in December 1998. According to Partovi, none of the former LinkExchange employees "...received a meaningful role at Microsoft. Not one stayed at Microsoft more than a few months." According to UIUC's Department of Computer Science, Alumni News, "Both Submit It and ListBot and another Web service that Banister created called ClickTrade live on as part of MSN LinkExchange." ==See also== Search engine marketing ==References==
